PIAZZA ARMERINA lies in the province of Enna easily reachable form the autostada in any direction. The Villa del Casale defies description being the home to a major archaeological find dating back to the 3rd and 4th centuries. The Roman mosaics here rival those found anywhere else in the Roman Empire and offer depictions of everyday life during those times. The most famous, or at least the ones most talked about are
in the Hall of the Female Gymnasts in Bikinis. Unfortunately, this room is still under reconstruction as is most of the Villa. Even so, a trip to this visually alluring part of the island is one that will always be remembered and spoken about.
