Caltagirone ('Cartaggiruni' in dialect), is a precious jewel in the heart of Sicily. Famous for its traditional ceramic production, it represents a crucial agricultural and tourist centre. Its historic center, embellished with late Baroque style, was recognized as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2002. In addition to ceramics, the city boasts magnificent religious architecture such as the Cathedral Basilica of San Giuliano and the Sanctuary of the Holy Crucifix. The 'carruggi' of Caltargirone add a touch of uniqueness, testifying to the rich history and culture of this fascinating Sicilian city.
