Sicily: an island, a whole continent
A tour to discover the fascination, richness and beauty of this incredible island with its antique and diversified historic and cultural heritage – ancient Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Arab, Norman and Spanish– including some of the most ancient Jewish communities of Europe.
This is one of the very few places in the world where you will be able to see old churches that were turned into mosques during the Arab domination and then turned again into churches with the arrival of the Normans, in an incredible superimposition of symbols and writings still to be seen nowadays.
