1° day
Modica Alta and Bassa "Regnum in Regno"
Through the narrow streets of Modica rich in fascinating sights unusual around and behind the magnificent church of San Giovanni. We suggest a first "look from the lookout" to get an idea of all the different neighborhoods of Modica: the Cartellone, Francavilla, then skirting the castle walk to the Cathedral of St. George (the patron saint of Modica), monument of heritage UNESCO (where the visit is a must) to admire the rich interior and the precious polyptych dell'Alibrandi). The walk continues on foot until Modica Bassa where drive along Corso Umberto, the elegant shopping street of Monica Low covering the ancient bed of the river Irminio. Here you'll come across in the other magnificent churches of Modica including the Cathedral SSPietro (patron saint of Modica Bassa), Santa Maria delle Grazie, Santa Maria del Rosario, the Church of St. Mary of Bethlehem, while you can admire the elegant shops and especially enjoy in the most important clubs in the world famous Modica chocolate.
