This is the desolate plateau at the top of the pass leading from San Giuseppe Iato across to Piana degli Albanesi. It is known for one thing only - the massacre of 11 innocent people (including children) on Mayday 1947. Those responsible were Salvatore Giuliano and his band - although their motives and intentions are still a matter of some controversy. See the Montelepre page for more information.
There is a car park here, servicing the monument across the road. The monument consists of eleven jagged rocks placed in an upright position where the bodies fell; it is a place of terrible sadness.
