The Villa Romana of Patti resurfaced unexpectedly in 1973, when highway construction revealed a complex spanning over 20,000 square meters. As you walk through spaces that remained hidden for centuries, you’ll come across the mosaics Romans loved to place throughout their homes, some still remarkably vivid with their original 4th-century colors.


Along the way, you’ll find ceramics, fragments of inscriptions, and small carved bone objects—traces of an even older villa dating back to the 1st and 2nd centuries AD. Each room preserves a tangible detail of the past, offering a captivating glimpse into the refined elegance of ancient Roman Sicily.
