  • 1. Villa Romana del Casale Piazza Armerina
    The Villa Romana del Casale is a large and elaborate Roman villa or palace located about 3 km from the town of Piazza Armerina, Sicily. Excavations have revealed one of the richest, largest, and varied collections of Roman mosaics in the world, for which the site has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The villa and artwork contained within date to the early 4th century AD.

Although less well-known, an extraordinary collection of frescoes covered not only the interior rooms, but also the exterior walls.
