Abstract

This paper discusses work carried out since 2012 by the University of Bern in collaboration with the Archaeological Park of Himera. It presents the state of knowledge of 2017 regarding the sacred structures and ritual practices on the Piano del Tamburino. It also addresses the topography and urban layout of the colony. This research has thrown new light and importance on the colony referred to as the Piano del Tamburino, which has received little attention in the more than 50 years of research at Himera.
