Villa Romana del Casale · Piazza Armerina

A 4th-century Roman hunting villa with the largest, best-preserved Roman mosaics anywhere in the world — over 3,500m² of them, including the famous 'bikini girls' mosaic of female athletes. Buried under a 12th-century mudslide and rediscovered in the 1950s; UNESCO since 1997. Two hours inland from Catania, an hour from Ragusa — drive, there's no train. Walkway above the mosaics; bring a hat for the summer heat.
