The itinerary unfolds through three symbolic sites of ancient Hyccara, the Late Antique settlement identified in the San Nicola area, where between the 4th and 6th centuries AD a prosperous and dynamic rural community flourished.  The Early Christian Catacomb of Villagrazia di Carini An underground complex dating to the 4th century AD, one of the most important in Sicily, characterized by galleries, burial chambers (cubicula), and beautiful early Christian frescoes. Guided tours will help visitors understand the organization of the cemetery, the funerary practices, and the life of the Christian community that lived in the area.  The Catacomb Museum A small but precious exhibition space that preserves finds from both the catacomb and the Late Antique and early medieval settlement of San Nicola.
