Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Ragusa Ibla, 97100, Ragusa, Sicily Italy
The tour begins in Ragusa Ibla with the visit of the baroque style historical centre. Ragusa ibla can be considered a real open-air museum, where the opulence of the Iblean baroque coexists in synergy with the nature of the iblei mountains.
Here we will admire the wonderful Saint George’s Cathedral in Piazza Duomo, The "Portale di San Giorgio", a wonderful arch in in Catalan Gothic style dating back to the 1400s, the beautiful "Giardino Ibleo" and many buildings in baroque style.
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes
Stop At: Antica Dolceria Bonajuto, Corso Umberto I 159, 97015, Modica, Sicily Italy
We continue to Modica, whose historical centre (Modica bassa), is also in Baroque style. The two Cathedrals, San Giorgio, which dominates the village from the top of the hill and San Pietro, located down along the main street, are both extraordinary exemples of the Sicilian Baroque. We will make a stop at the ancient chocolate shop Bonajuto to assist the explanation of the process to make the typical local chocolate, made according to an ancient recipe of the Aztecs brought to Sicily by Spaniards during their domination. Free tasting of chocolate is included!
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes
Stop At: Via Francesco Mormino Penna 2, 97018, Scicli, Sicily Italy
We will end up with the visit of the fascinating village of Scicli, where, once again, the main architectural style is Baroque. We cross the fascinating landscape rich in steep limestone walls, carob trees, low walls, small churches and quarries, and we come to the sight of what we would call a gem in the heart of Sicily. We start the walking city tour with the Chiafura Archaeological Park, where will be possible to see the caves dug into the limestone rock where many families still lived until the middle of the last century. Then starting from The San Bartolomeo Church we will across the town center rich in baroque style palaces and churches that made Scicli became part of the UNESCO World Heritage.
