The Villa Romana del Casale is a large Roman villa located in Piazza Armerina, Sicily, Italy. The villa was constructed in the 4th century AD and was owned by a wealthy Roman individual or family, although the exact owner is unknown.

The villa is known for its intricate and well-preserved mosaics, which cover over 3,500 square meters of the villa's floors. The mosaics depict a range of subjects, including scenes from Greek mythology, hunting scenes, and daily life in ancient Rome.

In addition to the mosaics, the villa also contains a number of rooms, including a triclinium (dining room), a basilica (large hall), and a number of private apartments. The villa was likely used for both residential and agricultural purposes, as it contains evidence of both living quarters and agricultural facilities such as a granary and a wine press.

The villa was buried by a mudslide in the 12th century and was only rediscovered in the 20th century during excavation work. Today, it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is a popular tourist attraction in Sicily.
