There is nothing quite like this villa, almost certainly built as a country retreat for a Roman emperor. It is enormous in size, and while there are some walls remaining to a decent height, what you really come for are all the mosaics. There are viewing platforms which allow one a decent view of them. There is excellent signage describing each room. The only downside is that this is very much on the coach party itinerary so you are shoulder top shoulder with elderly tour groups for much of the time. Even in mid October.

The feature long mosaic depicts animals being captured for the arena.
The famous bikini girls mosaic, actually depicting female athletes
Agrigento rail station, in case you want to come here by train.
