Capo Passero - Relitto dei marmi

The Relitto dei Marmi (Marble Wreck) lies in the waters of Capo Passero, Sicily, and is an important relic of the Roman era. The wreck likely dates back to the 2nd-3rd century AD and belonged to a cargo ship carrying blocks of marble, likely intended for the construction of buildings and monuments. Today, the ship lies on the seabed, surrounded by a rich fauna and flora. The site is particularly evocative and represents an important underwater historical and archaeological heritage, providing insight into the maritime traffic and commercial activities of ancient Sicily.
