Overview of your Palermo tour

The Roman Villa del Casale in Piazza Armerina, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, boasts the most extensive and spectacular mosaics of the late Roman era globally. North African art significantly influenced its style, evident in both composition and the selection of vibrant polychrome materials. The Villa stands out for the opulence and exceptional quality of its mosaics, which adorn nearly every room. However, it is the remarkable diversity of styles that renders the mosaics particularly captivating.
