Our students from grades 8 to 12 embarked on a remarkable cultural trip to Sicily, the captivating land that holds the key to European civilization's diverse heritage!
Sicily, the largest island in the Mediterranean, served as a hub for Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Normans, Germans, French, Spanish, and Italians. This journey through time took them to legendary archaeological sites like Segesta, Selinunte, Agrigento, and Syracuse. They marvelled at the stunning Arab-Norman architecture in Palermo, Monreale, and Cefalù, and indulged in the enchanting baroque cities of Ragusa, Noto, and Catania.
But the adventure didn't stop there. They also ventured to the towering peak of Mount Etna, Europe's highest active volcano, and witnessed nature's raw power. They even set sail to the Aeolian Islands to discover their mesmerising beauty and unique culture.
