A walkthrough of Villa Romana del Casale located in Piazza Armerina, Sicily, that is considered one of the rare gems left from the Roman era on this island.

Constructed during the 3rd and 4th century AD, it is believed the villa was owned by Valerio Massimiano, a prominent patrician of the empire. From 1997, it has been recognized as a UNESCO world heritage site, largely due to its globally revered mosaics.

The residential structure, containing 48 rooms, revolves around a four-sided peristyle that is entered from the entrance hall. The peristyle’s floor is entirely mosaic featuring illustrations of European and African wildlife, and the accompanying garden boasts a sizable fountain made up of three pools, adorned with marble on the exterior and mosaic on the interior.

The guided tour includes visiting the room featuring ten females depicted in bikinis engaged in different physical activities: discus throw, ball games, resistance training, and cross-country. It also includes a subsequently visit to the Basilica, showcasing the multicolored marble floors.
