The Place
It’s more than an island! Discover Sicily and discover the world. The world’s first multicultural society, our island is Italy’s (and Europe’s) most historically cosmopolitan region, having been ruled by Asians, Africans and Europeans. Sicily is black and white and a million shades of gray. There’s no other place on Earth like it. Our island is a unique place full of art, archeology, history, folklore andbreathtaking scenery. And, of course, great food. It’s almost a nation unto itself. The enchanting land where Archimedes taught and Saint Paul preached was aGreek colony, a Roman province, an Arab emirate and a Norman kingdom. ThePhoenicians, Carthaginians, Swabians, Angevins, Aragonese and Jews made this unique island their own, leaving behind an eclectic history that you can still touch today. And Sicily will touch you. Sicily is Europe, Africa and Asia on one island. Greek tyrants, Arab emirs, Norman knights, Byzantine bishops and Holy Roman Emperors made it the place it is. Experience their eternal legacy in Phoenician settlements, Punic cities, Greek temples, Roman amphitheatres, Norman-Arab castles and Aragonese churches. Thirty centuries of history expressed in the Classical, the Romanesque, the Gothic, the Baroque…
