Fantiano Quarries

Highlight • Structure

The ancient quarries of Fantiano open at the outlet and on one side of the gravina of the same name, characterized by an articulated and complex system of quarry spaces, even of large dimensions and on different levels. The age of use of the quarries is attributable to different periods as it is easy to guess from the different signs left by the mining activity on the rock walls, with the typical signs of manual extraction profoundly different from those attributable to the use of machines.
