The Italian island of Sicily has been significantly influenced in its culture by the Romans, the Normans, the Arabs and Byzantium throughout its history. Evidence of this can be seen in the magnificent mosaics of Cefalu and Monreale and the ancient ruins of Segesta, Agrigento, Syracuse and Taormina. But the Baroque style was also able to develop freely, as can be seen in Noto and Ragusa, for example. In addition, there is the varied landscape with colourful flowers and shrubs as well as orange, lemon, lime, olive, pomegranate and almond trees.
