The Catacomb Trabacche is one of the most important and well-known underground catacomb Iblei. Reported for the first time by the French painter J. Houel in the second half of '700, it consists of a huge room where stand two enormous sarcophagi canopy or tegurium, surmounted by small columns with capitals sketchy. Around the canopies open several graves arcosolium and polysomes, but also tombs carved into the bedrock on the floor. Based on comparisons to date the Hypogeum is dated to the late imperial period, no doubt in full fourth century. A.D. The cave is located on private land and the owner shall take them into care and keeping the site open to visitors free of charge by anyone in the day.
