Il colle San Matteo<\/strong> a Scicli fu luogo di fortificazione e insediamento per molti secoli. Le fonti scritte pi\u00f9 antiche menzionano un lungo assedio di Scicli da parte degli Arabi negli anni 864\u2013865<\/strong>, il che suggerisce l’esistenza di un phrourion<\/em> bizantino sulla collina. Nel XII secolo Edrisi<\/strong> descrive Scicli come qal’a<\/em> \u2014 una fortificazione forte e isolata sulla cima del monte.<\/p>\n

La prima menzione chiara di due castelli (castrum magnum<\/em> e castrum parvum<\/em>) risale al 1346<\/strong>. Il castello “Tre Cantoni” \u00e8 identificato nelle fonti dal XV secolo come una struttura con cortile difensivo e la chiesa Santa Maria la Raccomandata<\/strong> all’interno delle mura. Nel XVI e XVII secolo il castello svolse un ruolo importante nel sistema difensivo della Contea di Modica<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Le ricerche archeologiche del progetto NCN OPUS 22 verificano questo quadro. Le datazioni radiocarboniche e l’analisi stratigrafica confermano che la fase principale di costruzione e utilizzo del castello si colloca la seconda met\u00e0 del XIV \u2013 la prima met\u00e0 del XV secolo<\/strong>. Il terremoto del 1693<\/strong> pose fine alla storia di entrambi i castelli.<\/p>\n

Contributo del progetto<\/h3>\n

Il contributo pi\u00f9 significativo del progetto NCN OPUS 22 alla storiografia del Castello dei Tre Cantoni \u00e8 la messa in discussione delle ipotesi precedenti<\/strong> sulla fase dominante bizantina e normanna del castello. I dati archeologici \u2014 in particolare le datazioni radiocarboniche del muro e della fornace da calce e l’analisi della ceramica della stratigrafia del Saggio 3 \u2014 indicano la netta dominanza della fase aragonese (XIV\u2013XV sec.)<\/strong> come periodo principale di utilizzo del sito.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n
