You're standing at Akrai, the remains of an ancient Greek city above the Sicilian town of Palazzolo Acreide. Take a look around first. This spot sits high on a plateau in the Hyblaean Mountains, and you can see right away why the Greeks chose it. You could spot attackers from miles away, and getting up here was hard work.
