Peek inside the Duomo di San Giorgio

Explore the winding streets of this Unesco World Heritage site in the Val di Noto region of southeast Sicily. Modica, Italy is home to Baroque architecture, Salvatore Quasimodo’s birthplace and, of course, the Modica Chocolate Museum.
Modica is formed of two halves, Alta and Bassa, which cling to a steep-sided gorge. A labyrinth of steps and alleys connects the two. As elsewhere in this part of Sicily, extensive damage caused by the 1693 earthquake paved the way for change and the construction of many Baroque churches and palaces. But the town has plenty more to entice travellers – here are the best things to do in Modica.
Tempted to visit Modica? You can do so with a local insider and small group of culturally curious travellers on Culture Trip’s exclusive 10-day Sicily tour.
