Top 5 (archaeological) places in sicily!

oh I love this question! also appreciate the specificity because if it was my top 5 generic places in Sicily I'd be here all night

Valle dei Templi in Agrigento, which is as basic a choice as it is iconic ❤️

the greco-roman theatre of Taormina! 10/10 always gives me existential crises about history and human life

the island settlement of Motya, the first archaeological site I ever visited that wasn't greek or roman, and which cemented my love and obsession with the phoenicians

the greek theatre of Catania, not for the original structure itself so much as for the way it's been built on and integrated within the structure of the modern buildings

the Addaura caves, an amazing cave painting complex from the mesolithic age in the area of Palermo!
