Cava d'Ispica, the Cave of Ispica, is a nature reserve and archaeological site between the towns of Modica and Ispica in southeastern Sicily, Italy. The reserve follows a valley about 13 kilometers long, cut by a river into caves, gorges and other rock formations, and its caves and rock cut tombs have been used as dwellings and burial sites since the 14th century BC.
