Capital: Palermo
Sicilia
Where Civilizations Collide
Overview
Sicily is not merely Italian—it's a world unto itself, shaped by Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Normans, and Spanish. This largest Mediterranean island offers Greek temples rivaling those in Greece, Arab-Norman churches with golden mosaics, and Europe's most active volcano rumbling on the horizon. The cuisine reflects this layered history: arancini, pasta con le sarde, granita, and cannoli. Sicily is intense, complex, and endlessly fascinating.
