Sant'Angelo Muxaro Attractions

 
Communications

Take the SS 118 from Agrigento to Raffadali (20km/12.5mi), turn right there towards San Biagio Plátani; after 14.5km/9mi a side road off to the left leads to Sant'Angelo Muxaro.

This small town lies 36km/22.5mi northwest of Agrigento, above Plátani. The Sicanian necropolis in the valley, together with that at Pantálica, is one of the most impressive in the whole of Sicily. The main remains are an anteroom and a vaulted main room with benches all around. The grave goods are exhibited in the Syracuse Museum.

Myth

The necropolis supports the theory that this was the site of the Sicanian capital Kamikos of the mythical King Kokalos.
