Noto

Baroque capital

Soft lines, domes and sunlit piazzas.

Noto is the capital of Sicilian Baroque and one of the most recognizable historic centers in the UNESCO Val di Noto area. Golden facades, monumental stairways, and long urban perspectives create an elegant and highly photogenic route. It is perfect for cultural tours in south-eastern Sicily, combined with Syracuse, Ragusa, and Modica.
