Archaeology
Traces from the past: buried artefacts and hidden secrets
At the dawn of the 20th century, archaeologist Paolo Orsi began his first systematic excavations at Sant’Angelo Muxaro — a site known since the 17th century for the discovery of four exquisite golden phialae (ritual bowls).
Geology

The landscape of Sant’Angelo Muxaro is closely linked to the presence of Messinian chalk outcrops, which are part of the Sicilian Chalk–Sulphur geological formation.
