In the swamp which constitutes the Punta Lingua and that is, the
Eastern extremity of the island of Salina
(swamp which was one used as a saltpan from which, in fact, the island
derives
its present name) exist remains of ancient buildings, which at the end of the
XVIII century appeared with evidence
above ground and which today are interned and no longer visible on the
surface.
They are walls of the most typical "opus
reticulatum" of the I-II century A.D.,
belonging to a construction of Imperial
Roman Age, which existed near the North
Western margin of the ex Salina and probably extended also beyond it to the
foot
of the slope behind. The higher part was
destroyed during last two centuries, the
lower buried part is still preserved, as the
best evidence of the Roman Age.
