Modica
Modica is undoubtedly one of the most picturesque cities in the province of Ragusa and probably in all of Sicily. A treasure chest of unparalleled architectural beauties, the city has been included by UNESCO in the list of assets protected as a World Heritage Site.
The purely medieval architecture is flanked by splendid buildings of exquisite Baroque taste and suggestive noble palaces, a sign of the ancient wealth of Modica.
The old part of the city is characterized by houses leaning against each other, often obtained by exploiting the natural cavities of the rock. The whole center of Modica is rich in architectural beauties and deserves a long and slow walk to enjoy it to the full.
