Day 1 – Mix of Cultures

April 8, 2016 By jhartley

From the beginning of our travels in Sicily, it was obvious that our sites of interest would capture a fascinating mix of diverse cultures. Sicily, situated in the Mediterranean between the Continent and Africa and within reach of the Greeks, was constantly changing hands over time. Through its various masters, we have seen an infusion of various styles and influences in ancient architecture and modern street art. Zisa demonstrates this mixture perfectly: here we see Greek, Christian, and Islamic influences together.
