Ragusa

Tucked into the limestone hills of Sicily’s Hyblaean Plateau, Ragusa is a place whose character is shaped by the deep ravines that divide its historic quarters. Ragusa Ibla, the older lower district, climbs a spur beneath the modern town and preserves an extraordinary concentration of Sicilian Baroque architecture. Its Duomo di San Giorgio is a defining landmark, while the surrounding streets unfold in terraces, stairways and small squares. Rebuilt after the devastating 1693 earthquake, Ragusa forms part of the UNESCO-listed Late Baroque Towns of the Val di Noto.
