Itinerary

Visit of Ragusa Ibla
Visit of Ragusa Ibla

Ragusa, called the "city of bridges", due to the presence of three very picturesque and historic buildings, suffered a devastating earthquake in 1693. The reconstruction, which took place in the eighteenth century, divided it into two large districts: on one side upper Ragusa, located on the plateau, on the other Ragusa Ibla, built from the ruins of the ancient city and rebuilt according to the ancient medieval layout.
The architectural masterpieces built after the earthquake, together with all those present in the Val di Noto, were declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2002.

Visit of Modica
Visit of Modica

Modica has Neolithic origins. Until the nineteenth century it was the capital of a county that exercised a vast political, economic and cultural influence, so much so that it was counted among the most powerful fiefdoms of the south.
Its historic center, rebuilt following the devastating earthquake of 1693, is one of the most significant examples of late Baroque architecture and for its masterpieces the city was included in 2002, together with some centers of the Val di Noto, in the list of Heritage UNESCO World Heritage Site.
