A skyscraper in Favignana

There is a hidden "skyscraper", invisible to the eyes. You have to go and look for it in the northeast part of the island, following the dusty road that leads from Cala Rossa towards Cavallo. We must stop and look down. The quarry looks like a cave of hell unveiling itself to the curious eyes. The skyscraper rises majestically, a gigantic monument to the toil and the work of the quarrymen. The people of Favignana, accustomed to dig the rock, cut it, work it with skill, have left this incredible monument. The skyscraper is what remains of that immense effort, of those who, for generations, have carved the "cantuna", the square rock bricks to build the walls and houses of this island. The scattered quarries, on the island of Favignana, are not a void, but a full, cathedrals of polished stones that have something sacred, between the sky and the sea.
