Ragusa, a Baroque and modern town

Ragusa is a UNESCO-listed town in the Monti Iblei, an area of steep hills with deep valleys.

Enjoy nice walks in the evening like locals do, have a good meal at some of the best restaurants and admire the cultural and architectural wealth of Ragusa. You will be charmed by the Baroque atmosphere and the main gems including the Duomo di San Giorgio, Ragusa Cathedral and Giardino Ibleo.
