Central Sicily
Why Go?
Sicily's wild and empty interior is a beautiful, uncompromising land, a timeless landscape
of silent, sunburnt peaks, grey stone villages and forgotten valleys. Traditions live on and
life is lived at a gentle, rural pace. It's an area that encourages the simple pleasures - long
lunches of earthy country food, meandering through hilltop towns, enjoying the scenery .
The newly reopened Villa Romana del Casale, in Piazza Armerina, is a must-see, and the
handsome town of Caltagirone has some stunning ceramics and an awesome staircase.
Enna, a busy provincial capital, boasts a striking medieval centre and some great hilltop
views of the surrounding mountainous region. Northeast of Enna, a string of hilltop towns
make for excellent touring.
