An episode from the series VISIT

Synopsis

Sicily, the largest island in the Mediterranean, enjoys a pleasant climate, fertile land, and an exceptional geographical location—assets that did not escape the attention of successive conquerors.

From the Phoenicians to the Romans in antiquity, then to the Byzantines, Arabs, and Normans in the Middle Ages, all have clung to this island blessed by the gods.

Sicily still bears many traces of its medieval past, making it one of the major centers of European culture.
