Sicily's history spans 10,000 years, during a third of which the island suffered
through foreign rule by more than 11 different kingdoms. The dark and reflective
gaze of its people, known as the "eyes of Sicily", reflect its turbulent history
and ultimate resilience.
Sicilian is a language as original as Sicily itself, a mishmash of Italian,
Greek and Arab influences. The cities of Noto
and Ragusa
show off grand examples of Baroque architecture, and Caltagirone
produces colourful ceramics. The capital city of Palermo
is Sicily's opera centre, and has several important churches
and museums
to explore. Agrigento's
Valley
of the Temples, ruins from the original city of Akragas, are rivaled only
by Rome's ancient Forum,
and the medieval cities of Taormina,
Agrigento,
Siracusa,
Selinunte
and Erice
are rife with culture, history and hidden secrets. Sicily's oldest and most
famous resident, the still-active volcano of Mt. Etna, grumbles and churns regularly,
reminding islanders and visitors alike of the tenuous, yet precious, nature
of life on an island.
