Caltagirone: The Flowered Staircase and the Millennial Art of Ceramics

Published on August 29, 2026 at 7:10 PM

Our August journey makes a stop in Caltagirone, the undisputed capital of Sicilian ceramics. This splendid Baroque town, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, amazes every visitor with its famous Staircase of Santa Maria del Monte: 142 steps decorated one by one with polychrome majolica tiles that evoke the island's ancient traditions.

Strolling through Caltagirone means stepping into the workshops of master ceramists, admiring noble palaces, and enjoying a lively and authentic cultural atmosphere. For those looking for a residence in inland Sicily that combines art, tranquility, and artisanal tradition, Caltagirone represents a choice of great class.
Very little is left until the end of our journey: tomorrow the penultimate stop awaits us!
