Regions at a Glance
Central Sicily
Norman Strongholds
Bearing traces of their Norman past, Central Sicily's hill towns float like islands in the sky
above the surrounding landscape. The regional capital of Enna lords over them all from its
prime position at Sicily's geographic centre.
Roman Splendour
The world's most extensive and best-preserved late-Roman mosaic floors are shining
brighter than ever thanks to recent renovations. Look for them in the ancient Villa Romana
del Casale outside Piazza Armerina.
Ceramics Central
Ceramics lovers beware! Caltagirone's dozens of artisans' shops, ceramics museum, and
whimsical 142-step staircase covered top to bottom in hand-painted tiles may seduce you
into an acquisitive frenzy.
