Ragusa

Ragusa is one of the most picturesque towns in Sicily.

The best activity is wandering; meandering along the character-filled lanes of Ragusa Ibla or clambering up the steps towards the upper town and enjoying the great, classic view over Ibla.

The view from the upper town over Ragusa Ibla on its own separate hilltop is quite breathtaking.

The grandest building in Ibla is the cathedral, the Duomo di San Giorgio, built in the 18th century. 

At the end of Ibla’s rocky ridge is the town’s public park, the Giardino Ibleo. The pride of the town, these manicured and leafy gardens have views over the surrounding valleys  One of the best sights in the Ragusa area is the Castello di Donnafugata, a pseudo-Venetian-Gothic country villa in the countryside. Then, there is the beautiful seaside, Marina di Ragusa, and fishing village Punta Secca (one of the most famous Montalbano location).
