Sicily Essentials

Sicily contains some of the Mediterranean's most significant historical sites. This list features the Valley of the Temples' Doric architecture and the Roman Villa of Casale’s expansive mosaics. Visitors can explore the active stratovolcano Mount Etna and the white marl cliffs of the Scala dei Turchi. The island’s unique Arab-Norman heritage is showcased through the golden mosaics of Monreale, Cefalù, and the Palatine Chapel. Ancient Greek theaters in Taormina and Syracuse offer coastal views, while the Baroque architecture of Noto and the multi-layered history of Palermo’s cathedrals complete the island's essential landmarks.
