This contribution regards mining landscape in Sicily and its physical dimension. It has been shaped by the stratification of different layers such as topography, geology, vegetation, roads, functions, existing buildings and structures, underground spaces. The purpose of the paper is to understand their relations and their shapes, through a specific case study. We are dealing with a large mining park in the middle of Sicily, characterized by the layering of the various elements previously described.
