Say goodbye to Agrigento and the highlight of the day, though, will be the next stop at Piazza Armerina and the stunning Roman Villa del Casale. This is, without doubt, the finest Roman remains in Sicily and has the most

amazing collection of polychrome mosaics to be seen anywhere. What makes them so incredible is that they are not in a museum but in situ, as they were laid. There are hunting and more exotic mythical scenes

, and the floors and walls are covered. Most remarkable of all are the scenes in the gymnasium, which could grace any modern gym, with girls in bikinis, exercising and playing ball! The villa consists of 40 rooms in all.
