Culture and History

The history of Sicily is one of domination.

The geographical position of this territory, heart of the Mediterranean, the absolute beauty of its sites, and the fertility of its land has, for centuries, attracted populations and conquerors. The succession of wars and dominations, as proven by priceless works of art and culture, make the heritage of the island one of the main attractions of the Mediterranean basin. Places like, Erice, Mothia, the Valley of the Temples (Valle dei Templi) of Agrigento, the Byzantine mosaics of the Duomo of Monreale, Piazza Armerina, or the Arabian architecture in Palermo, make us understand how significant the legacy of the populations and civilizations who have inhabited the island has been over the centuries.
