Ancient Village or Settlement in Sicily. Three megalithic huts remain, one stone circle, one large stone circle (56 meters diameter) one rectangular enclosure: the site is encircled by remains of a megalithic wall.
The local arid soil and scrubland make it difficult to recognise some of the limestone remains. There are several megalithic sites on the island of Lampedusa, this one is one of the most interesting. The European megalithic culture reached its most extreme South point in this tiny South Mediterranean island.
