Description
Ragusa is placed in the south-eastern side of Sicily, nearly 100 Km away from Catania. Land full of art and sun, the youngest of the Sicilian provinces boasts the largest number of heritage sites acknowledged by UNESCO…baroque art, unspoilt nature, archaeological areas, traditions and unique flavours represent an historical and cultural reference of the utmost interest. Situated along a spur in the rock between two deep gorges, Ragusa is a city with two souls: Ragusa Superiore characterized by its modern aspect and Ibla, the most ancient core where sculptors and artists have united - with unexpected harmony - baroque masterpieces with the classical medieval urban plan unique all around the world. The imposing Duomo di San Giorgio (Saint George's Cathedral) with its magnificent late-baroque façade predominates while all around there is a interlacement of alleys, courtyards and short flights of steps and balconies and decorated façades of elegant mansions and splendid churches. In the outskirts: il Castello di Donnafugata (the Castle of Donnafugata), exemplary aristocratic residence tracing back to the second half of the 19th century, la Cava d'Ispica (the Quarry of Ispica), archeological site testifying the evolution of human settlements from the pre-historical era up to almost the present day; Marina di Ragusa, seaside resort with long beaches of very fine golden sand and a good nightlife.
