About Caltagirone
Caltagirone is one of Sicily's great ceramic towns, where a 142-step staircase of hand-painted majolica tiles climbs toward the Baroque heart of the old city. Its history and culture experiences are intimate rather than crowded: you can join a Caltagirone: Private Tour of the Traditional Ceramic Town to read the town through its kilns and workshops, or step into the Caltagirone: Guided Tour of the Diocesan Museum with Licensed Guide for the sacred art and layered past behind the facades.

Frequently asked questions
Caltagirone's heritage is inseparable from its ceramics, a craft practised here for centuries and still visible in the majolica staircase and workshop chimneys. History and culture experiences focus on that living tradition and on the town's religious art, including the Diocesan Museum, rather than on generic sightseeing.
