Villa Romana del Casale Sicily Italy 15th September 2007
The Villa Romana del Casale in central Sicily has one of the richest, largest, and varied collections of Roman mosaics in the world. The visible remains of the villa were constructed in the first quarter of the 4th century AD on the remains of an older villa. It was damaged and perhaps destroyed during the short domination of the Vandals between 469–78 and the site was abandoned in the 12th century AD after a landslide covered the villa. This preserved the mosaics.
