Caltagirone

Highlight • Monument

The history of this country is a treasure trove of cultures and influences that have merged over the centuries, but it was the art of pottery introduced by the Arabs over 1,000 years ago that shines like a precious gem. This tradition has made Caltagirone a world-famous destination for its extraordinary ceramics, a testament to artistic mastery and passion for beauty. Along the streets of this enchanting town, you will be able to admire the fascinating colorful decorations that bear witness to this extraordinary heritage. And if you want to take a piece of this history home, all you have to do is explore one of the many art shops and make a unique creation yours.
The symbolic place of the city is the famous Staircase, composed of a total of 142 steps, which has a fascinating history that dates back to 1608, when it was built with the aim of uniting the two parts of the city, the upper and the lower one. However, its real transformation came in the 1950s, when it was lovingly restored using fine lava stone and adorned with the vibrant and typical Caltagirone majolica, giving the staircase a new life and an incredibly picturesque appearance.

Highlight • Historical Site

The Palace dates back to a period before the earthquake of 1693, when most of the city's buildings were destroyed. The palace belonged to the Crescimanno counts and over the centuries it hosted illustrious personalities such as Ferdinand II of Bourbon and other nobles who visited Caltagirone.
