Entella

data access 34111

This is the site of the ancient Sicilian greek city of Entella.
7km/4.5mi north of Sambuca, to the right of the road leading to Contessa Entellina, lies the Adranone archeological site, 900m/2,960ft up on the eastern slope of Monte Genuardo (1,179m/3,870ft). This is a Siculan settlement, which later came under Punic and then Greek influence. Experts have uncovered the town walls, built in the sixth-fifth centuries B.C. and renewed in the fourth-third centuries B.C., the Acropolis, the huge "Tomb of the Queen", as well as a residential area outside the walls dating from the Hellenistic period.
