Ragusa

What to see in Ragusa Ibla

The way down that leads from the “new” city forward Ragusa Ibla, the old town, may be performed on foot, thanks to the old street that links it to the upper city, through a pedestrian path made up of 340 steps. During the way down you can enjoy a unique view, in particular at evening, with street lamps that light up the narrow streets and the houses built each one above the other on the side of the hill: it will seem like to be in front a nativity scene.
The Duomo of San Giorgio is the mightiest monument of Ragusa Ibla e an unquestionable jewel of the Sicilian Baroque. Preceded by a wide staircase, the front is rich of baroque decorations, but is mighty structure seems to have some gothic characteristics. Piazza Pola is connected to the Piazza Duomo through Corso XXV Aprile, a wide and well-lit street, with many shops and elegant palaces. On the square, there is the Chiesa of San Giuseppe that partly reproduce some architectonic elements of the Duomo. A warm suggest: lose yourself among the alleys and the fascinating atmosphere of the Borgo and discover the many nobiliary palaces
