Archaeological Sicily is an extraordinary treasure, a journey into the heart of the ancient civilizations that inhabited the island for over three thousand years. Greeks, Phoenicians, Romans, Arabs, and prehistoric peoples left indelible traces that still fascinate travelers and history buffs today.
From the majestic Archaeological Park of the Valley of the Temples to the ancient theaters of Syracuse and Taormina, from the Punic cities of Mozia to the prehistoric settlements of the Aeolian Islands and Pantalica, each site tells a different chapter in the history of the Mediterranean.
The regional archaeological parks, among the largest in Europe, offer trails immersed in nature, historical reconstructions, integrated museums, and itineraries that allow visitors to understand the daily life of ancient civilizations: houses, sanctuaries, necropolises, thermal baths, and perfectly preserved roads.
In Sicily, archaeology is a living experience: a journey to the origins of our history.
