It rises at the foot of the Iblei mountains and is located between the provinces of Siracusa and Ragusa. Of the municipality, which is mostly an agricultural center, remains the oldest part of the town, built at the beginning of the sixteenth century, which is of nineteenth-century imprint. Little remains of the original core of the center. Rosolini, however, is rich in quarries and ancient archaeological sites that precede the Greco-Roman domination.
