nsp:notes "Roger II confirms to Bartholomew, abbot of the Monastery of Santa Maria della Grotta in Marsala, earlier privileges made by himself and his mother, Adelasia. These include the donation of the Casale di Farchina and vineyards and lands as well as the exemption from some taxes, which the monastery's founder, Admiral Christodulos, had put in place at the time of its creation. \"Concessimus fore dictum Monasterium liberum vel exemptum ab Episcopis archiepiscopis et ab omni sacerdotali ordine. Petens et exorans ab Excellentia nostra confirmare eidem venerabili Monasterio contenta et declarata seu distincta in eodem privilegio. Videlicet casale quod dicitur farchina et omnia que sunt in eo et sibi pertinent et limitantur et omnia quecumque continet predictum privilegium. Sicut dictum est. Nos autem scientes quod sanctarum Ecclesiarum dei curam habentibus et in eis gloriflcationem seu laudem agentibus necessaria distribuere. Deo acceptabile est et anime grandis utilitas comparatur. Lubemus, concedimus, et conflrmamus esse ipsum monasterium liberum vel exemptum et totaliter liberum ab Episcopis archiepiscopis et omni universali sacerdotali seu clericali ordine. Similiter conflrmamus eidem etiam omnia que divi nostri parentes in eorum privilegiis eidem concesserant. Scilicet homines Casalis farchine. vineas et terras et barcam unam liberam et etiam que ammiratus Xpistodulus, qui a fundamentis ediflcavit predictum Monasterium.\" The year is 1131.

nsp:content "In July 2019, we met a representative of the Museo Archeologico Lillibeo at the site. It has been rebuilt, having suffered significant damage during World War II, and there is no sign of a Norman presence. Excessive vegetation prevented us from accessing the interior. Michele, the representative, told us that up until approximately 30 years ago the site was in use but then was closed on account of structural concerns. Until about 15 years ago, it was possible to access the entrance. He also shared that the site has been vandalized and we were told that an altar and a statue of the Virgin Mary have been taken." ;

nsp:notes "There appears to be some confusion here. White, Latin Monasticism in Norman Sicily, 42, locates this house in Marsala. But Loud thinks it was in Palermo but had been given a house in Marsala so that the monks of Palermo would revive the house to the west (Latin Church in Norman Italy, 508). Scaduto (Il monachesimo basiliano, 131-32), argues that the confusion comes from the two houses having the same name and maintains that the monastery in Palermo had been united with the one in Marsala at the end of the twelfth century. Today, there is graffiti at the Marsala site and there is a business being run from the area just behind an exterior wall. The site is built over a Punic burial ground. Stairs that descend to the entrance perhaps suggest the presence of the grotto after which this monastery had been named. The site is now autonomous and is under the care of Marsala's Polo Museale. It is possible to view the exterior without a guide, but entrance into the gated area can only be made possible by a representative."^^xsd:string ;
