Teatro Vittorio Emanuele is one theater that merits a visit even if you are not an art enthusiast. This place was formerly used as an artistic studio; however, in the year 1870, the historic venue was restored and reopened as a theater. Since then, the theater has hosted the likes of Tina Di Lorenzo Pierantonio and Eleonora Duse. After its second renovation in the year 1998, the Teatro Vittorio Emanuele was declared as a UNESCO Heritage site. Attending a performance or a show in this beautiful temple of art is almost like partaking in history.

An imperial Roman Catholic house of worship, Noto Cathedral dates back to the late years of the 18th Century. Occupying a central location in the town of Noto, it was built in the year 1776 and apportioned to Saint Nicholas of Myra. The structure weakened during the 1990 earthquake and a part of it collapsed in the year 1996. This led to some significant alterations carried out in the mid-20th Century. Its faint yellow exteriors are carved out of limestone, while the interiors are plain white. The Sicilian Baroque marvel houses the mortal remains of Noto patron's saint, Corrado Confalonieri.
