Overview of your Modica tour

The city of Noto is the capital of Sicilian baroque. The new city was built after the earthquake in 1693 on the new site of the hill called Meti. Four architects Gagliardi, Sinatra, Labisi and Mazza worked together to build the new city of Noto. The area has been inhabited since prehistoric times. Our ancestors, the Siculi, have left traces on the Alveria hill nearby.
