Modica is one of Sicily’s most beautiful Baroque cities, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site along with Ragusa, Noto and Scicli. Our guided walking tour takes you through its most iconic landmarks, between history, architecture and flavours.
Main stops:
Cathedral of San Giorgio — the symbol of the city, with its Baroque façade dominating the monumental staircase of Modica Alta.
Church of San Pietro — one of the oldest and most evocative churches in the historic centre, with statues of the Apostles lining the entrance staircase.
Corso Umberto I — the vibrant heart of Modica Bassa, lined with noble palaces, artisan shops and historic chocolate makers.
Modica Chocolate — not just a tasting, but the discovery of a confectionery tradition dating back to Aztec times, still crafted today using the ancient cold-processing method.
The Ancient Quarters — alleys, courtyards and views that tell centuries of history shaped by Arab, Norman and Spanish influences.
