Overview of your Piazza armerina tour:

Live the history from the Roman times to the 18th century! Unforgettable tour of the stunning mosaics of the Roman Villa of Piazza Armerina, Unesco heritage site among the most important of Sicily, with 3. 500 sqm of stunning original floor mosaics. You will learn every secret about the Villa and its beautiful mosaics. We will see the famous room of the "bikini girls": ancient gymnasts that wear the first bikini in history (as written in the New York Times when the Villa was discovered). We will visit the beautiful historical center of Piazza Armerina, where you will see stunning places that aren't usually visible to the public and you will enjoy typical Sicilian food excellences. More than a guided tour, it will be an emotional tour that will let you dive into the ancient, fascinating and enchanting atmosphere of the Roman Villa!

Your Piazza armerina tour itinerary

- The visit will start from the Roman Villa: I will let you discover every room of this incredible place in a two hours tour. - After that you will be accompanied in the historical centre of Piazza Armerina, for a tour that will start from the top of the city where Ettore will offer you coffee and homemade cakes from the lounge of its art hotel in front of the Cathedral (perfect place to take the best pics of Piazza Armerina!). - Then you will visit the baroque Cathedral, the Palazzo Trigona and the Pinacoteca and walk through the enchanting medieval streets. - We will also visit the ancient library and the beautiful and abandoned old Church of Sant'Anna, then the first church of the town, built by the Malta's Knights, and the St. Peters Church with its cloister.
