The ancient city of the Elymians, which later became the historical Greek rival of Selinunte, was devastated by the vandals and disappeared in the Middle Ages. To visit also the ossuary of Pianto Romano that, erected on the summit of the hill, collects the bodies of the fallen in the battle fought by the Garibaldians.

Cave di Cusa, Campobello di Mazara: also known as “Rocche di Cusa”, these are the famous stone quarries from which the material for the Selinuntine constructions was extracted. The quarries were in use from the 6th century BC until the defeat of the Greeks by the Carthaginians in 409 B.C. The quarries were abandoned in a hurry by the workers and cause of the sudden arrival of the Carthaginian army. The sudden flight of workers has meant that today we can not only recognize but also follow all the various stages of processing: from the first deep circular incisions up to the finished boulders that were waiting only to be taken away. The Quarries are today named after the archaeologist Vincenzo Tusa.
