Necropoli di Realmese

On leaving Calascibetta, follow the 290 main road, for little more than one kilometre, and you will see signs for "Realmese", a necropolis dating from between the 10th and the 6th centuries BC. Driving a few kilometres farther on and then a few metres on foot, pass by the disused stone quarry and you will come to the necropolis, easily recognisable by the many openings dug into the rochy mountainside. With silence as an accomplice, broken only by birds chirping and the the wind blowing, about three hundred kiln tombs, though preserving no signs of their past use, still leave one fascinated. A little further on from Realmese, is another necropolis, that of Malpasso, dating back to 2000 BC and made up of five burial caves.
