Ragusa Ibla

Tour Ragusa Iblathe ancient town has been completely rebuilt on a hill after the terrible earthquake of 1693 which radically upset the Noto valley.

The Cathedral of St. George with the beautiful baroque façade and the imposing dome is always the most important iconographic and rapresentative image of Ragusa.

Val di Noto

Tour Notothe 1693 earthquake was a tragedy of biblical proportions: thousands of people died and the whole area was heavily devastated; but it was also the beginning of a new era and the reconstruction work were immediate: a real competition burst between local aristocrats who built the palace or the best house as a sign of social success.
In a short time, all this brought to an abundance of construction of private villas, palaces and churches. Architects and artists who dealt with the construction of various buildings gave vent to all their ingenuity and imagination, and over time the so called Sicilian Baroque reached full artistic maturity breaking away from the original stream and distinguishing itself for the joy and the richness of its creations. These have had the highest expression in the late Baroque towns of the Val di Noto which have entered to take part of the UNESCO World Heritage and they are: Ragusa, Noto, Modica, Scicli, Palazzo Acreidi, Caltagirone and Catania.
