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 with unique beauty.

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

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

We'll start descending towards Lower Modica, navigating through narrow streets and stairways, encountering the Castle of the Counts, a medieval fortification. Our tour will include the house of Salvatore Quasimodo, a Nobel Prize-winning Sicilian writer converted into a museum. In 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, home to stores selling typical products.
