Sicily｜Hidden Hilltop Gem: Ragusa

Perched 300 meters high on limestone cliffs between two valleys, Ragusa is part of the Val di Noto UNESCO site. From above, it resembles an island floating in a sea of mountains. 🌋 A City Reborn After being nearly destroyed in Sicily's 1693 earthquake, Ragusa split into two: Ragusa Superiore (Upper Town): A Baroque "new town" built on higher ground Ragusa Ibla: The enchanting old town rebuilt on its original site – so magical you'll keep climbing its winding staircases despite the effort! 🚂 For Tired Legs Hop on the Ragusa Ibla Tourist Train (departs from Piazza Duomo) to explore effortlessly.
