Noto

Noto, rebuilt on a plateau after the earthquake of 1693, grew into one of Sicily’s defining late-Baroque towns. Its historic centre forms part of UNESCO’s Late Baroque Towns of the Val di Noto World Heritage site, shaped by the reconstruction of south-eastern Sicily after the disaster. Along Corso Vittorio Emanuele, warm limestone façades lead past the Cathedral of San Nicolò and Palazzo Ducezio, the city hall with its Hall of Mirrors. Noto stands between the Hyblaean uplands and the Ionian coast, and its surrounding countryside is known for almond and citrus cultivation.
