Tour Villa Romana del casale e Caltagirone
Villa Romana del Casale in Piazza Armerina is famous for its more than 3500 square metres of golden glittering mosaics in an excellent state of preservation. It is considered as the largest roman residential building of the Mediterranean.
It is called āVillaā but it is an Imperial noble Palace, whose remains are situated few kilometers away from the little town of Piazza Armerina.
The beautiful Imperial āvillaā placed in the Roman heart of Sicily, in the province of Enna, is a magnificent hunting lodge, whose charm comes from its excellently preserved mosaics, which depict with sharp and moving images from everyday life and mythological tales, which significantly decorate the remains of this ravishing residence included in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1997.
After the visit of the Roman Villa del Casale is possible to explore the nearby baroque town of Caltagirone, awarded with UNESCO World Heritage, and known as the city of ceramics.
Pottery has been a way of life here for hundreds of years as result of an endless supply of good quality local clay.
The most popular style is majolica, a tin-glazed pottery in dazzling hues. Hand painted tiles in vibrant blue and yellows can be seen all over the town, in houses and churches, parks and squares.
A walk around the alleys of the historical center will allow you to enjoy its exceptional monumental heritage rich in churches, fine buildings, eighteenth-century villas and the scenic Santa Maria del Monte stairway, famous for the 142 steps with ceramic tiles, symbol of the city, the Villa Comunale and the many craft shops where you can buy real ceramic jewelry.
