Frequently asked questions
Caltagirone is built around one craft: ceramics. A first-timer experience here focuses on seeing that craft in person, from workshop demonstrations of the manufacturing process to guided walks through the historic centre and its maiolica-decorated stairway. It is a compact town, so you can cover the essentials in a few hours rather than a full day.
