Modica Private Tour

Two neighbourhoods, two cathedrals, and the great jewels of the Sicilian Baroque. In this private tour of Modica with an English-speaking guide, you can visit this beautiful city and its treasures without missing a single detail.

Description

At the indicated time we'll meet at the entrance of San Giorgio Cathedral to begin this private tour of Modica, a city in the province of Ragusa.

This Sicilian town is built on two levels: an Upper Modica and a Lower Modica. We'll begin in the upper part, firstly admiring the facade of San Giorgio Cathedral, one of the jewels of Sicilian Baroque.

We'll enter the church to see its decoration of stuccoes and works of art, and its Sacred Ark, which houses the relics of the patron saint of the temple. After visiting the cathedral, we'll admire views of the lower part.

We'll start descending towards Lower Modica, walking through narrow streets and stairways, and seeing the remains of the Castle of the Counts, a medieval fortification. We'll also see the house of Salvatore Quasimodo, which has been converted into a museum. Upon reaching Modica Basso, we'll enter the late-baroque-style Cathedral of San Pietro, noted for its staircase decorated with statues.

Our tour will end after two hours in Corso Umberto I, the main street of Lower Modica, where you'll find stores selling typical products.
