Piazza Armerina a UNESCO World Heritage Site
The Villa Romana del Casale was originally built by a powerful Roman family in the 4th Century AD. It is most famous for its beautiful mosaics, considered to be the best preserved of their kind. Archaeologists excavated this amazing site n the mid 18th century, uncovering many rooms depicting life at that time. One of the rooms included mosaics of female athletes seemingly wearing bikinis!!!!! These amazing mosaics were most likely created by North African craftsmen who were renowned for their skill and artistry!!
