Shortly after its foundation, the Chiesa Madre and a small administrative complex (Castellania) were built. The population grew rapidly: by the early 18th century, there were already more than 200 inhabitants. In 1734, the village acquired a communal organization with local notables assuming parish and administrative management. True autonomy came in 1786 with the purchase of full rights, freeing it from feudal power. In the 19th century, the population increased thanks to sulphur mining and new roads to Licata and Ravanusa. Some inhabitants also took part in the uprisings of 1820 and the Expedition of the Thousand in 1860. Campobello gradually became a notable agricultural and administrative centre of the territory.<\/p>\n<h3>Contemporary art and culture of Silvio Benedetto<\/h3>\n<p>In recent decades, the Italian-Argentine artist <strong>Silvio Benedetto<\/strong> has enriched the village with original works in squares, parks, fountains and streets. The most famous is the <strong>Valley of the Painted Stones<\/strong>, or <strong>Park of the Divine Comedy<\/strong>, on the southern slopes of the village. The park comprises 110 painted travertine blocks along a 300 m path, representing Hell, Purgatory and Paradise, inspired by Dante&#8217;s Divine Comedy. The highlight of the park is the &#8220;stone of the vision of God&#8221;, the largest monolith, placed at the summit.<\/p>\n<p>Other creations by Benedetto in the town include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Piazza XX Settembre: wall frescoes and bronze statues linked to the work of the land and water.<\/li>\n<li>Fountain of the Little Girls (piazza Aldo Moro): composition in marble and bronze.<\/li>\n<li>Villa XXV Aprile: mosaics and fountains with decorative motifs.<\/li>\n<li>Piazza Tien An Men: obelisk, bronze hands, symbolic tools, literary quotations, celebrating work and culture.<\/li>\n<li>Ceramic fresco Iliade in terra e fuoco: large wall fresco illustrating scenes from the Iliad.<\/li>\n<li>A broken stone column with bronze doves, Parco della Rimembranza.<\/li>\n<li>Sculptural triptych via Momigliano: three sculpted &#8220;doors&#8221; entitled &#8220;Donna \u2013 Sicilia&#8221;, &#8220;La porta barocca&#8221; and &#8220;La vigna&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li>Painted triptych in the Centro Polivalente with &#8220;La presa delle terre&#8221;, &#8220;La miniera&#8221;, &#8220;La semina&#8221;, as well as a &#8220;Micro-macro cosmo&#8221; on the tower balustrade.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Heritage of Campobello di Licata<\/h3>\n<h4>Squares, parks and urban monuments<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Piazza XX Settembre<\/strong>: main square with benches, flower beds and marble and granite paving.

occupied by a Greek city from the 6th to the 4th century BCE, perhaps that of Kakyron.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"blockfloat-right\">\n<h3>Mount Saraceno<\/h3>\n<p>The Monte Saraceno site dates back to the Copper Age and Early Bronze Age, with the Thapsos culture in the Middle Bronze Age, then an early indigenous Sican village from the Iron Age with circular huts has been identified from the 8th to the middle of the 7th century BCE. <br \/>After a fire (possibly caused by the Geloi), it was rebuilt with houses on a rectangular plan and fortifications, and developed between the 6th and 5th centuries, with elements of Greek culture (grid-based urban planning, necropolises, fortifications). <br \/>The site appears to have been definitively abandoned at the beginning of the 3rd century BCE.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>There was an Arab presence before the arrival of the Normans: according to the sources, Muslim rule in the region began in the 9th century (around 829) and ended in 1086, the year of the Norman conquest. <br \/>Legend reports that during the Norman conquest, Roger of Hauteville had a vision of the Virgin near a fig tree, which led him to find a water source; in memory of this, a sanctuary to the Madonna of the Fig Tree (Madonna del Fico) was built.<\/p>\n<h3>What to see first in Ravanusa<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Monte Saraceno \u2013 Siculo-Greek archaeological site with ruins, fortifications and necropolises.<\/li>\n<li>Salvatore Lauricella Archaeological Museum \u2013 collections of objects from the Early Bronze Age to the 3rd century BCE from Monte Saraceno.<\/li>\n<li>Chiesa Madre (San Giacomo) \u2013 Baroque architecture and 17th-century interior decoration.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Main buildings of Ravanusa<\/h3>\n<h4>Churches<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>The <strong>Chiesa Madre San Giacomo<\/strong> (cathedral of Ravanusa), in Baroque style, founded by the Duke of Montalbano Giacomo Bonanno in 1622. <\/li>\n<li>The pretty <strong>church of Santa Maria Assunta of the Franciscan convent<\/strong>, with paintings evoking the siege of the Arab fortress by the Normans.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Salvatore Lauricella Archaeological Museum<\/h4>\n<p>The Salvatore Lauricella Archaeological Museum preserves finds made in the surrounding area. Inaugurated in 2007, it is housed in two rooms that present a chronological and topographical itinerary, from prehistory to the 3rd century BCE. <br \/>Among the remarkable pieces are a child\u2019s sarcophagus (necropolis of via Olimpica, dated between 520 and 460 BCE), polychrome terracottas, an architectural gorgoneion, vases, amphorae, loom weights, etc. <br \/>The museum is dedicated to Salvatore Lauricella, mayor of Ravanusa for many years, who campaigned for the enhancement of the Monte Saraceno site.<\/p>\n<h4>Monte Saraceno archaeological site<\/h4>\n<p>The site is accessible
