Cave di Cusa, Via Ugo Bassi, 37, 91021 Campobello di Mazara TP, Italië In the vast territory of the Archaeological Park of Selinunte we can identify seven distinct areas, each of which preserves the memory of the greatness of the ancient city.
About thirteen kilometers north-west from the Archaeological Park of Selinunte, there is the archaeological area of the Cave di Cusa.
The quarries were an inexhaustible mine of raw material, indispensable for the construction of the city of Selinunte, including temples.
These are the most famous caves of antiquity in the world.
A remote show that takes you back in time.
The quarries were in fact suddenly abandoned due to the war against the Carthaginians (allies of the Elimi of Segesta and Erice), who, taking the city of Selinunte by surprise, completely destroyed it.
This is one of the peculiar characteristics of the place where the enormous drums destined for the temples still lie, half excavated. The extraction technique was long and complex. 60 minutes
Parco Archeologico Selinunte, Castelvetrano, Italy Selinunte is undoubtedly among the most fascinating and famous archaeological sites in Sicily.

For the benefit of other travelers, I must clarify that the private driver is not bilingual. He spoke a mixture of roughly 97% Italian and 3% English. Communication was very challenging. He dropped us off at the Cave parking area, pointed in a direction, and said ticket. We were the only people there. Signage was space at best. The two workers at the ticket building spoke only Italian (appropriately). They pointed us to a dirt road into nothingness. At this point already, the trip was such a bust that all we could do is stop in our tracks and bend over laughing. Our driver then took us to the archaeological park, opened our car doors onto the sidewalk at the entrance, and said See You in 3 Hour. The first 25 minutes there were spent in line for tickets. The whole experience was ridiculous. I highly recommend other travelers avoid it.

I think the archaeological park of Selinunte is one of the most beautiful things we have seen in all of Sicily. Extremely suggestive and really well cared for. I suggest to buy the ticket including the transport by train because it is quite a long walk on foot
