Overview

You will get to know the hidden part of the city of Marsala; the one created by the quarrymen during the extraction phase.
It will be a city with a particular architecture, made up of limestone pinnacles that rise from the depths of the extraction and a succession of majestic walls and overhangs that make the landscape very similar to the Grand Canyon.
It will be a slow and relaxing walk that will take us from the countryside level to 30 meters of depth. The first stretch will allow us to get to know the various spontaneous aromatic plants that flood the route with colors and smells; we will observe the characteristics of the limestone rock that makes up and delimits the open-air quarries and we will talk about this current extraction system.
After a stop for refreshments, we will proceed into the quarries in tunnels which, due to their size, can be defined as extensive cathedrals of calcarenite with their 25 meter pillars and massive walls that alternate with the voids dug by the quarrymen.

What To Expect

Parco delle Cave - Marsala

Visitors will join us on site and leave their car in the car park near the road because the route will be done on foot. They will be joined by the guide. The route is a ring circuit. You will travel through the open-air quarries and then the tunnel ones, finally returning to your cars. Refreshments will be offered at the halfway point. It will be a walk that from the road level will take us to -30 meters which corresponds to the maximum extraction carried out by the quarrymen. The quarry park is in fact created in quarries already worked by the previous owners who were in fact quarrymen. Now the Marsala Quarry Park is a private place, redeveloped by the current owners and transformed into their agricultural company which, due to its cultural value and scenic beauty, has become a tourist attraction. The Park tells the story of the various extraction systems that have occurred over time, thus preserving traces of a profession that is disappearing.
