The Sillar Route is a guided tour to learn about the history of the white city named after the color of the white ashlar There we can have an experience with the artisans, observe how it is the extraction of the ashlar in an artisanal way, the carving to obtain the specific block for the constructions of the houses and buildings of the city. Plus a short walk through the shingles canyon is pretty comfortable. The tour differs because there we will visit the workshops of artisans, and learn the techniques of carving volcanic rock ashlar.
