Cava della Misericordia

The path leads you through woodland and past streams to the ancient hermitage of Santa Maria della MisericordiaExternal link, which once welcomed worshippers to prayer and is now a popular destination for rock climbers.
Just above the hermitage is the entrance to the Grotta del Gigante, the ‘Giant’s Cave’, accessed by a narrow tunnel that opens out into a cave with a shape that resembles the face of a giant with a long beard.
This is a trail which is popular with lovers of the outdoors and adventure, and is also suitable for mountain bikes, linking Ragusa Ibla (Via ChiaramonteExternal link) with Ragusa Superiore (railway stationExternal link).
