Found this staircase down in Ragusa province ~
the main stone found in southern Sicily is limestone ...
not the lava commonly found in Catania and Messina provinces where Mt Etna is located.
Many of the fields in Ragusa have limestone walls dividing them one from another
and the walls are made without any mortar ~ just stacked and held together by the stones shapes.
This method is called "secco" or "dry".
