erge la rocca di Entella. Un luogo reso ancora pi\u00f9 suggestivo grazie agli agglomerati di cristalli di gesso che ne costituiscono le formazioni rocciose e che brillano nel sole cocente della nostra terra. A Nord dell\u2019altura, si trova il lago Garcia ma la vista dalla sua sommit\u00e0 spazia su tutto l\u2019orizzonte circostante.Sopra la rocca \u00e8 stata edificata la citt\u00e0 di Entella attualmente oggetto di studio. La citt\u00e0 \u00e8 stata protagonista della storia della Sicilia ed \u00e8 spesso citata da storici quali Tucidide e Deodoro Siculo. Coinvolta nella prima guerra punica, la citt\u00e0 venne liberata dal condottiero greco Timoleonte. \u201c\u2026menzionata ancora a proposito della I Guerra Punica, a seguito della quale la Sicilia entra nell\u2019orbita di Roma, Entella viene ricordata successivamente da Cicerone per le ruberie subite da parte di Verre. Da Plinio sappiamo che nel I sec. d.C. la citt\u00e0 era tributaria di Roma, annoverata tra le citt\u00e0 stipendiarie.\u201d Tra i numerosi reperti archeologici trovati ad Entella, si annoverano i decreti: \u201c\u2026testi ufficiali della comunit\u00e0 degli Entellini (uno solo \u00e8 di un\u2019altra citt\u00e0, Nakone), sono scritti nel dialetto greco dorico della Sicilia e sono incisi su tabelle di bronzo destinate ad essere esposte in edifici pubblici.\u201d In questa immagine la rocca si inserisce nel contesto naturalistico della valle venendone abbellita dalla presenza di alcune nuvole sospese in cielo e dalla cometa Pons-Brooks.Nestled in the countryside of the Belice Valley stands the fortress of Entella. A place made even more evocative thanks to the agglomerates of gypsum crystals that make up its rock formations and shine in the scorching sun of our land. To the north of the high ground is Lake Garcia, but the view from its summit sweeps over the entire surrounding horizon.Above the stronghold was built the city of Entella currently being studied.
