Discover the hill of Hybla
Overview of your Ragusa tour
In this half day tour we will have an amazing walking tour of Ragusa, although in reality, we will see 2 towns: Upper Ragusa (built after the earthquake of 1693) and Ragusa Hybla (the historic center of Ragusa). We will move down through a charming ancient stariways that connects the two towns. Ragusa (and other seven Sicilian towns) was listed as Unesco World Heritage Site since 2002 for its baroque heritage. We will admire noble palaces, churches and convent in baroque style, typical of the 18th century. We will also have the opportunity to discover other monuments from different ages, such as medieval remains and strong building from Fascism age. We will finish this exciting journey through time and history in the fresh public garden (Giardino Ibleo) of the town and, of course, we will have time to enjoy a Sicilian almond granita or a fresh orange juice! I am excited to meet you and show you the most hidden treasures of this suggestive town and very Sicilian soul!
