A Stop in the City of Ceramics: Caltagirone

This morning, you have time for some shopping in Caltagirone, a beautiful baroque town that is home to some of Sicily's most prolific ceramic artists. 

About Caltagirone’s Staircase of Santa Maria del Monte

Caltagirone’s Staircase of Santa Maria del Monte was built in 1609 to connect the old lower town to the new upper town. Since 1954, each of its 142 steps was decorated with a unique design of colorful, handcrafted majolica ceramic tile, a craft for which the city is world renowned.
