Polizzello archaeological site
The archaeological site of Polizzello or mountain of Polizzello was a site inhabited probably from the eleventh to the sixth century BC
The name apparently derives from the tyrant Polyzelus. According to another thesis the name derives from the Greek πολις Ειθηλος (Polizzello), although so far there is no archaeological evidence that may indicate the presence of a Greek settlement in the area.
The site is located on a hill at 877 m above sea level and is near Mussomeli in the Province of Caltanissetta.
The site is great for a human settlement for its easily defensible position and for the presence of water sources. It consists of two plateaus of which the upper smallest one is home of Acropolis and place of the first protohistoric and archaic settlement, moreover; the site has an east–west orientation with a single access from east.
Historically, the site had three significant phases:
Of the fifth century BC are the remains of the House of Temenos. This is a residential building with multiple rooms.
