The tour will take you to the core of the late baroque Sicily, rebuilt after the tremendous heartquake of 1693 and now part of UNESCO heritage.

The first stop of our tour is Noto, the “Garden of Stone”, which is renowned for its exceptional Baroque heritage. After the tragic 1693 earthquake, Noto was rebuilt on Meti Hill during the eighteenth century. Therefore, this reconstruction represents only a phase in the long and complex history of the town whose origins are to be found in the Early Bronze Age.

Let’s continue with a sweet note: Modica. Modica is most famous for its chocolate. Local people learned how to prepare it from an ancient Aztec recipe and it is possible to visit the oldest chocolate factory of Sicily.
But chocolate is not the only attraction of the town, inhabited by Sicanians, Carthaginians and Sicels, the city has a very rich history and a wonderful architectural heritage: the Cathedrals of San Giorgio and San Pietro, the Palace of Culture and Civic Museum and the civil buildings Palazzo Polara  and Palazzo Napolino-Tommasi Rosso, only to mention a few.

Ragusa has also been included in the UNESCO World Heritage since 2002 thanks to its monuments of the late Baroque period.
Beautiful examples of the late Baroque that you can visit in the city are the Cathedral of San Giovanni Battista and the Cathedral of St. George, or the palaces Zacco and Schininà of Sant’Elia.
