Area archeologica di Morgantina

Big archaelogical site, with well preserved interesting ruins. Off season, not everything is available. The place is far away but the route is beautiful. Opening hours are short...

The site is large and impressive with many (ca 40) info boarda explaining the use of the buildings etc Good view of the site and Etna.. We went in january and we were the only guests there. it's worth a trip!

Morgantina seems to be one of those amazing places that still has yet to really be discovered. I say that because this place is like a whole history lesson of pre-Roman times with so much to see, but doesn’t seem to get much tourist traffic. Admittedly, it is a drive from the more regular tourist spots on Sicily, and it is a bit difficult to find, but well worth an afternoon to visit if you have the time. I can see here that others have mentioned problems with faded information signs and unclear visiting hours, but I didn’t have a problem getting in during an afternoon, and I found the signs to be sufficient for reading. The really amazing thing about this site is that the whole layout of the pre-Roman village is still preserved to the point that you can make out the layout of the city and get a very good idea (from the layout, topography, and information signs) of what day-to-day life was like for these people. The ruins are beautiful and definitely make a great challenge with easy subjects for any novice to professional photographers out there. (The fact that there aren’t many visitors certainly helps as well.) The parking is great and the fee is minimal. Bring water and prepare to be educated.

Absolutely great site. Huge, well documented and gorgeous views of Sicily

Definitely worth it to see how these old ruins laid preserved for so long. Not much of an explaination and beware that hours are not well listed. We were told they closed at 130pm in the middle of September.

Incredible site - absolutely deserves a visit! Feels like walking in an ancient Roman city.
The only downside is that there are no explanations and it seems like the site is not looked after...

Very pleasant experience, very much still to discover. No restaurants on the site.

Excellent place. Easy to understand layout of the city. Size of this site is astonishing.
Good descriptions in English.
I can recommend visit to all people who are interested in history.

Amaizing site, once a big aincent city in the middle of the island. Can't imagine all logistics needed to run a community of the size in that time.
Should be better maintained, but definitely recommended.

Spent a good amount of time here roaming the different parts of the ruins. More to experience than other sites with wonderful written explanations.

The entrance from that main road is not clear enough. The place is amazingly beautiful!!!! Needs to fix all the sights that faded from the sun

Lovely place

Great place

One of the greatest sites in Sicily, absolutely empty

Ok ok

Very nice

You can walk on Greek mosaic!

Unique

Qualsiasi amante di storia e archeologia non può non visitare la vasta area del parco archeologico di Morgantina.
L’area ancora in corso di scavo, comprende monumenti di età ellenistica.
Sono presenti il teatro, una serie di edifici di ceto ricco e importanti, zone termali di età ellenistica, tra i primi esempi che si conoscono nel mondo romano.

Perla archeologica poco valorizzata per quello che offre e testimonia. Si respira la quotidianità greca, dall'agorà all'anfiteatro, dalle terme alle abitazioni... Grandissimo lavoro degli archeologi, grandissima testimonianza di opere ingegneristiche come la cupola delle terme fatta con tubuli cavi. Da non perdere.
