These typical gardens have been obtained by transforming the old tuff quarries (that are currently disused) into gardens (from these quarries a valuable white tuff was quarried). Favignana has a lot of these unusual gardens. The Hypogean gardens appear here and there in the landscape as a real surprise, exactly where human creativity has already been fully evident in stone cutting; thus, among scratches on the walls and holes with squared contours, a lush vegetation characterised by amazing colours and inebriating scents grows luxuriantly.
