Description
Discover the origins of Pantelleria with a fascinating journey into the Bronze Age. Walk among the remains of the island's first human settlement, dating back some 3,500 years, exploring pseudo-boat huts and Europe's largest fortification wall. A plunge into prehistory takes you through the extraordinary resilience and ingenuity of Pantelleria's ancient inhabitants, who adapted to extreme volcanic terrain. The itinerary will guide you through the island's unique geological landscape of craters, lava flows and megalithic tombs, the famous Sesi, which tell stories of daily life and funerary rituals. From the Necropolis to the High Wall, the trail will immerse you in an ancient world where nature and history intertwine. You will also discover hypotheses about the abandonment of the site, perhaps related to climate change or a natural cataclysm, reconstructing a fundamental part of the history of Pantelleria and its inhabitants.Includes
