Ragusa superiore is the new town, where efficiency has pragmatically taken over the place from the church bourgeoisie in the name of transformation. But almost as if the tradition wanted to compensate for the renovations, the history of these places is told here through the MUSEO ARCHEOLOGICO REGIONALE IBLEO. The museum occupies the first floor of the Palazzo Mediterraneo in via Natalelli. There are dedicated sections for the prehistoric period, Camarina, Sicilian archaic and classical dwellings, Hellenistic centres, and late Roman settlements. The stele dedicated to the Warrior of Castiglione, on display in the section of the Sicilian dwellings, is very interesting and valuable. It commemorates the soldier Pirrinoi who probably was a lookout for Castiglione on the Iblei Mountains, in order to protect Camarina city around the sixth century D.C. It is a bas relief on a single sheet of local limestone, depicting an armed warrior on horseback. The importance of this find lies in the incision in Greek characters in a Doric dialect, that makes us think about an indigenous character. Another interesting location is the beautiful CATHEDRAL SAN GIOVANNI BATTISTA, which rises imposingly on the intersection of two main streets of Ragusa, Via Roma and Corso Italia. Its construction started on 1694 and its large roof terrace looks onto Piazza San Giovanni. The broad and lively façade is flanked by a massive bell tower topped with a spire, recently renovated. The interior has three naves, and the nineteenth-century chapels are decorated with fine stucco. RAGUSA INFERIORE OR IBLA The reconstruction works gave a lot of attention to this part of the city with the result of creating a one-of-a-kind place, thanks to the artist’s inspiration which, in the flowering baroque style, realized wonderful palaces and churches, built with the local stone. The architectural masterpieces built after the earthquake, together with all those of Noto Valley, since 2002 belong to the UNESCO World.#mynovgetaway #mynovgetaway#thanksgiving

Modica is a hillside town that feels like it’s been poured out of a storybook — baroque churches (especially the absolutely gorgeous Duomo de San Giorgio!) stacked above winding lanes, all glowing honey-gold in the Sicilian sun. But let’s be honest: most people (me included 😋) come here for one thing… chocolate. The town is famous for its Aztec-inspired method of making chocolate, brought by the Spanish centuries ago. It’s grainy, rich, and utterly addictive. I popped into Cioccolato di Modica Sabadì Sabadì - Cioccolato di Modica and, honestly, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ — worth every bite. Try the chilli-infused bar if you’re feeling brave 🌶️🍫. Between tastings, Modica’s steep stairways and dramatic views make wandering a joy. Climb to the Cathedral of San Giorgio for a view that’ll stop you in your tracks. Then reward yourself with… well, more chocolate. 🍫✨ This is Sicily’s sweet spot — literally. #mediterranean #modica #sicily #italy #churches

#FallHospitalityEvent Traditional Sicilian cuisine offers a harmonious blend of seafood and meat. Grilled sausages (Stigghiola) are a particularly beloved street food in Sicily. Made with lamb intestines and herbs, they're grilled over charcoal, creating a unique texture with a crispy exterior and a tender interior. Fresh shrimp and oysters, caught fresh off the Sicilian coast, can be enjoyed raw or with a squeeze of lemon juice to truly savor the seafood's natural flavor.

You can get there by train from Syracuse. The city has an unusual layout, with the city moving vertically from the high ground to the lower part. The upper part is the new town, and the lower part is the old town. Looking down from the upper part to the lower part is a magnificent sight. The square with the Cathedral of San Giorgio is the center of the lower old town. There are many narrow streets in the city, and it's like a maze. I think it's fun just to walk around the old streets. There are many charming churches in the city. I recommend wandering around the city and checking out the churches you come across. #EuropeTravel #Italy #Sicily #Ragusa

#Overseas Travel To visit the Baroque church, Duomo di San Giorgio, you have to climb a total of 254 steps. It was built in the 17th century and has been rebuilt after several earthquakes.

As one of the most prosperous cities in Sicily, Italy, the late Baroque architecture is perfectly represented here. On the day of going to Ragusa, the day was set off before the dawn, and the city just woke up when it arrived. From the train station of Xincheng, all the way to the highest point of the old city, Xiaochengmei can't wait to live here for a few more days. Before going to Ragusa, I thought that for a long time, it was enough here. I didn't expect any one lane, any building, let us stay for a long time! The regret of staying in Ragusa today can only be reserved for the next time!

The St. John's Cathedral (Royal Church) church is Gothic style, was built in the 14th century and is a UNESCO heritage. Rebuilt many times in history
