This is an ancient neighborhood, now an archaeological park, that was carved into the rock. In ancient times the area was used as a cemetery. It was gradually transformed into a settlement in the early medieval period, coinciding with the Arab conquest, and was occupied without interruption until the middle of the tenth century.
This is an excellent example of the Baroque style in Scicli. This palace features interesting gargoyles on the balcony lintels.
