ARTIST CERAMICS Colors and features that make Caltagirone's creations unmistakable

One of the best-known ceramics in Italy, that of Caltagirone is among the most varied and elaborate. This art has been part of the history of the city since before the Arabs invaded its territories. This population, however, gave a considerable impulse to this art, bringing its techniques and procedures from the East. It will be a master ceramist to show you these processes, allowing you to fully appreciate these works. Then a walk in the city centre, the Cathedral, the small ceramic museum and the church of Santa Maria del Monte and the magnificent adjoining staircase, entirely decorated with splendid ceramic tiles, is not to be missed. Just time for lunch and then continue towards Piazza Armerina and its Villa Romana del Casale, a UNESCO heritage site. Its mosaics will truly amaze you
