Description
The Villa Romana del Casale is the biggest attraction in central Sicily for good reason: the site, located in a valley 5 km southwest of the city of Piazza Armerina, houses the best existing mosaics of the Roman world and for that reason it has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997.
The Villa is sumptuous: four groups of interconnected buildings, scattered on the hillside and decorated with over 3,500 square meters of surprisingly well-preserved multicolored mosaics, which suggest its function as a luxury palace of imperial significance.
We will be able to admire the splendid floors through the depictions of ports, cities, animals and forests that represent the continents and places where the Roman Empire extended.
A fascinating room is that of the mosaic of the athletes girls who line up before the race and which made the villa famous as it is here that we find the first representation in the world of a woman in a bikini.
In the afternoon we will go to Caltagirone, a baroque city renowned throughout Sicily for its ceramics.
The production of ceramics dates back to over 1000 years ago, thanks to the high quality clay of the area.
Time has given a high level of craftsmanship creativity, which still today involves an important income factor. Wherever you go in Caltagirone, among the streets full of Baroque palaces and churches, you are invaded by traditional ceramics. A fundamental stop is the Staircase of Santa Maria del Monte, the epic city staircase decorated in ceramic majolica.
We will finish the tour by tasting a good locally produced Nero d'Avola.
