The mosaics are really worth the trouble to get here. 12€ entrance, with kids up to 18 able to get in free. You should budget about 1.5 hours to adequately see everything. There are a couple of refreshment villages after you park, where you can get granite or a coffee before or after your visit. Take your time seeing the tile artwork. There is a lot to see in most of the floors. Don't miss something due to being rushed by a larger group.

The sheer scale of the site and the mosaics are breath taking. There is so much Mosaic they allow you to walk on some of it! Even the souvenir and refreshment area by the parking was nicely set up.

What an amazing place! More Roman mosaics than anywhere else that I've known of. It was covered by a landslide and not known until the 1800s. Still being excavated and restored. The mosaics are beautiful and the interpretive information is very good. Come and experience the history of late Roman times.

absolutely worth the entrance fee, the detour and the additional stay at piazza armerina. truly a large collection of mosaics, about 900 years old, and the majority of it in great condition. i hope they continue to get funding as some the moisture is beginning to damage their preservation efforts. but other than that, must visit if you’re planning to visit sicily and care about their historical richness. if you take your time viewing each room, you can be here for about 2 hours.

If you thought Pompeii had some great mosaics then you better prepare yourself for this! Exceptional interpretation and a completely covered space means you can take all the time you want without the threat of rain, wind or blazing sun! Absolutely astonishing ?
