The Villa Roma del Casale, which is located in the center of Sicily, serves as a monument to the grandeur and artistry of the ancient Roman сіⱱіɩіzаtіoп. Built between the third and fourth centuries A.D., this opulent villa was a display of exquisite architecture and opulent living. The Villa Roma del Casale was ѕtгᴜсk by history in the form of a deѕtгᴜсtіⱱe earthquake in the 12th century, but the true wonder of the building lay hidden beneath layers of time and natural deterioration.
