Ragusa Ibla is considered to be one of the most incredible baroque cities of Sicily. It was built after the earthquake of 1693, which devastated south eastern part of the island. In the last 25 years Ragusa has become very popular due to the mystery series Montalbano. Ibla is a little city, but charming and elegant. Walking through the public garden you can image the noble people of the old time spent their moment in it reading or just strolling .
We begin the visit of Ragusa with a stop to enjoy the symbol of the city: Portale San Giorgio. Then, we'll stroll through the public gardens called Giardini Iblei. From there, we'll make our way through the winding streets of the city. Before reaching the city center we'll see the church of S. Giuseppe and then continue to the main square to visit the majestic Duomo of S. Giorgio, the patron Saint of Ragusa.
