Ragusa is one of the best known of the baroque towns of southeastern Sicily. It's a UNESCO World Heritage Site nestled within rocky limestone peaks whose intriguing history, grand cathedrals and palaces, and divine food and drink provide visitors with endless opportunities for excitement. The town has two distinct faces. Sitting on the hill is Ragusa Superiore, a bustling modern town with all the attributes of a contemporary provincial capital, while etched into the hillside further down is Ragusa Ibla (old town). This sloping area of narrow alleyways, grey stone houses and baroque palazzi on handsome squares is Ragusa's historic center and it's truly magnificent.
