All around there is a unique and unrepeatable territory: an intrigue of natural, archaeological, architectural and historical beauties of world importance, so much so as to appear on the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites. Here the late Baroque churches and palaces of Ragusa Ibla, Modica, Comiso and Scicli or the Art Nouveau buildings of Vittoria are not only to witness the splendor of a noble past, but also the industriousness and genius of a people who never let themselves be overwhelmed either by foreign dominations or by the nature that upset this corner of Sicily with the earthquake of 1693.
