The Villa del Casale, near Piazza Armerina is perhaps the finest and most extensive display of mosaics in the Roman world. The Villa Romana del Casale is the ultimate in Sicily villas – a 4th century AD Roman building, built in an agricultural estate.
A landslide covered the site in the 12th century, helping to preserve a number of spectacular mosaics. The mosaics include a 60-metre-long hunting scene, the famous ten “bikini girls” and many classical, whimsical, sporting and geometrical examples. The colours are vibrant and the tiles largely intact. The style is influenced by North African art, both in composition and the choice of colourful polychrome materials. The bright-coloured marble and other stones would have been imported specially for this luxurious display.
It would be a vibrant experience and and eye fiesta to check out these spectacular mosaics. It is suggested that you hire a car to go to Piazza Armerina in Sicily to visit the Villa Del Casale.
