Villa Romana del Tellaro

The Villa Romana del Tellaro is a Roman villa on the island of Sicily. It is located about nine kilometers south of Noto.

The villa was built in the second half of the 4th century by a 20 × 20 m large courtyard. Very well preserved are the floor mosaics, some of which the Villa Romana del Casale resemble, but are not as extensive. Especially designed elaborately are:

  • The hunting mosaic that hunters in hunting and of them trapped animal shows and
  • The Hektormosaik showing the scene, is outweighed in the Hector's corpse with gold.
