Archeoastronomia nella Rocca di Cerere a Enna
Palermo, presentation at the International Congress “Il Mediterraneo e il Megalitismo durante il III e II millennio a.C.”
In March 2023 we visited the Castello di Lombardia in Enna (Sicily) because we were particularly interested in the Rocca di Cerere and its possible astronomical orientation.
Its isolated and elevated conformation makes it an ideal place of worship, high up and close to the divinity.
Nothing remains of the ancient temple described by Cicero, but the site was already frequented in prehistoric times, and we have seen that it was astronomically oriented and functioned as a calendar indicator.
