A Roman Villa dating to the 4th C. A.D. that is one of the most important archaeological discoveries for it’s variety, number, the technique, the vivacity of the colours, and the perfect conservation of its mosaics.

These represent everyday hunting scenes as well as scenes inspired by Homeric poems
and mythology.

Of particular importance is the portrayal of girls in bikinis that anticipated present times by two thousand years. Because of the archaeological importance a visit to the Roman Villa del Casale is highly recommended.
