Mosaici - do not miss them!

Probably the highlight of my trip - this place blew my mind! The Roman mosaics here are amongst the best anywhere that you'll ever see. The Villa Romana has been declared as a world heritage site by UNESCO. If you don't see the rest of Piazza Armerina then at least go here if you like your art and archaeology as much as I do. The detail in some of the mosaics is truly incredible. It is about 3km from the town itself.
