Piazza Armerina (Gallo-Italic of Sicily: Ciazza; Sicilian: Piazza) is an Italian comune in the province of Enna of the autonomous island region of Sicily.

The city of Piazza (as it was called before 1862) originated during the Norman domination in Sicily (11th century), when Lombards settled the central and eastern part of Sicily about 900 years ago, but the area was inhabited since prehistoric times. The city was flourishing also during Roman times, as showed by the notable mosaics at the patrician Villa Romana del Casale.

The town is famous chiefly for its Roman mosaics in the Villa Romana del Casale, about 3 km to the southwest. It has a range of significant architecture dating from medieval through the 18th century. The discovery and excavation of the well-preserved, highly refined mosaics has helped attract tourists.

The medieval history of the city is manifest in some of its houses, which show Norman or Gothic architecture. The main landmarks include a range of architectural styles:

Outside the city is the ancient church of the Priorato di Sant'Andrea (1096), founded by Count Simon of Butera, a nephew of Roger I of Sicily. It has important medieval frescoes.
