Lípari - Archeological Zone

Besides the museum, other areas of the castle mound are also devoted to the history of Lípari: the Archeological Park and Archeological Zone. The latter is to the left of the stepped alleyway leading up to the cathedral, by the Church of Immaculata and opposite the classical section of the museum. It has on display layers which have been uncovered and which document the ancient settlements on the site of the town. Finds include: relics from the Bronze Age civilizations of Capo Graziano (17th-15th centuries B.C.), Milazzo (1400-1250 B.C.) and Ausonio I (1250-1150 B.C.), also insulae (insula = Lat. block of houses) of the Hellenic and Roman town.
