Ragusa Ibla: walking exploration with local guide

What You Will Experience

The guided tour of Ragusa Ibla will allow you to immerse yourself in the late Baroque architectural style, which characterizes the religious buildings and palaces of this fascinating Sicilian city. The tour starts with the Portal of San Giorgio, the only architectural element that survived the earthquake that destroyed the whole town and also the ancient Cathedral of San Giorgio, which was later rebuilt in another part of Ibla.

Continuing the tour, a short distance from the Portal of San Giorgio, you will find the entrance to the Giardino Ibleo. This historic garden, the oldest in Ragusa, was created in the XNUMXth century and overlooks the Irminio Valley and the Iblei Mountains. Once inside, you will be able to enjoy an oasis of peace and relaxation in the shade of ancient trees and exotic plants.

Among the churches, you will visit the Church of San Giacomo, which stands on an ancient temple. The interior of the church will amaze you with its wooden ceiling, Corinthian columns, statues and precious paintings. After admiring this church, the tour will continue walking through the historic center of Ibla, where you can admire Sicilian ceramic shops and artisan shops that still produce the famous Sicilian carts today.

The guided tour ends with the symbolic monument of Ragusa, the Cathedral of San Giorgio, preceded by an imposing staircase. Upon entering the church, you will have the opportunity to admire the beautiful paintings by Sicilian masters of the eighteenth century, the large pipe organ and the statue of San Giorgio on horseback, accompanied by his reliquary.
