Discovering the mosaics of ancient Lilybaeum – Walk with the Archaeologist at Capo Boeo

A few meters from the sea, the remains of the Punic-Roman city blend with the landscape of the promontory. Accompanied by an experienced archaeologist, we will explore mansions, colorful mosaics and baths.

The tour starts from Plateia Aelia, the main artery of the Roman age, once the beating heart of the city. We will visit the Roman domus under the “Cine Impero,” with its fine mosaics, and the magnificent domus of Insula I, embellished with baths and African-style mosaics.
We will continue to the fortifications that defended the city by the sea, famous for their resistance to the attacks of Dionysius I, Pyrrhus and the nine years of Roman siege during the First Punic War.The last stop is the fascinating “Sybil’s cavern,” an underground environment under the Church of St. John the Baptist at Boeo, linked to the founding of the city. The church holds a freshwater spring, a key element in the choice of site, with evidence of oracular and Christian cults from the late Roman period.
