I had insisted on sitting in the window sill of the B&B the night before to watch the sunset, that we had to deal with Mosquitos in the room that night. We rested well anyway, had a lovely breakfast of coffee, juice, homemade bread and marmalade jam and left to find Cave di Cusa.
It's a quarry about 12 km out of town where the ancients carved out the huge drums of stone used for the massive columns of the temples. Unfinished and various pieces lay strewn over the fields surrounded by extensive and lush olive groves on rich red/orange soil.
