Piazza Armerina
About the destination
Piazza Armerina is a charming hilltop town in the Enna province, best known for the Villa Romana del Casale — a 4th-century Roman villa housing the most extensive and well-preserved collection of Roman mosaics in the world, including the famous 'Bikini Girls'. Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997, the villa's 3,500 m² of polychrome floor mosaics depict mythological scenes, hunting expeditions and daily life with extraordinary detail. The town itself rewards a stroll through its Baroque centre, crowned by the 17th-century Cathedral and the medieval Castello Aragonese.
