5. Antiche Grotte del Caricatore

Discovering Caricatore There is a subterranean Sciacca, dug in the rock probably by the learned hands of Carthaginian navigators: the Caricatore, a funnel-shaped system of caves used to accumulate wheat up to the beginning of the nineteenth century. This fascinating worm-eaten fabric covered a perimeter that widened from Angelo Scandaliato square to the Convento San Francesco, up to the Samaritan alley, where the Torre del Fossato stood, a bulwark placed in defence of the "Sicilian gold" from Saracen piracy attacks. Today, this extraordinary place brought life again thanks to the passion and the enthusiasm of the cultural association "Vintuliata di Marina" which has made some caves of the ancient Caricatore accessible through guided tours and has created an area dedicated to exhibitions, seminars, theatrical performances and artistic events. The purpose of the association is also to outline paths of knowledge and enhancement of our enogastronomic heritage.
