Beehive-esque Graves of the Anguilla Cemetery in Sicily

Unearthed in 1982, the Anguilla Cemetery in Ribera, Sicily, hails from the heart of the Bronze Age (13th century BC). This archaeological gem showcases the remains of individuals from that epoch, as testified by the tombs discovered. One of the most remarkable aspects of the tombs is their distinctive shape, commonly referred to as tholos-like structures or beehive-like tombs, carved straight into the local bedrock. Such tombs are a hallmark of late Bronze Age construction styles in Sicily. The tombs are composed of one or two chambers, and some even boast a 1.5-5 meter long 'dromos', or corridor, winding towards the entrance. The Anguilla Cemetery, distinguished by its unique dimensions and tomb typology, stands alone in western Sicily.
