Ragusa is one of Sicily’s classic Baroque towns. The town is marvellously located on a cliff top at about 500 metres above sea level. The town is divided into two areas, an upper part and a lower part called Ibla
Modica is in the southern part of the Monti Iblei Mountains, about 15 km south of Ragusa, the capital of the province. The town has a wonderful location at 300 m above sea level.
Despite the fact that there are no notable monuments or other sights in the village, there is a fantastic view and a peaceful charm with enchanting streets and small shops selling local produce, such as sausages and cheeses.
Caltagirone is famous for its splendid beautifully decorated ceramics. The whole town breathes ceramics, from the façades of many of the houses to bridges and vases on terraces. We recommend a walk up the magnificently decorated steps leading to the church of Santa Maria del Monte.
This medieval town has lots to offer the visitor, particularly its Roman villa with its well-maintained and wonderful mosaics. The villa is about 5 km from Piazza Armerina in a little valley.
