Scicli

Visit the imposing Chiesa di San Giovanni Evangelista or explore ancient costumes at the Museo del Costume at Scicli, a time-worn city in Ragusa province of Sicily. Declared as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, this Baroque metropolis boasts of a pristine backdrop and an old-world charm that remains unmatched with its contemporaries like the Modica and Noto towns. The native Sicels possibly founded the city sometime in 300 BCE while it has been occupied since the Early Bronze and Copper Ages. Admire the beautiful Neoclassical Santa Marìa la Nova or the Baroque St. Bartholomew churches, while it also remains popular for a road running competition called Memorial Peppe Greco. Scicli also serves as one of the shooting locations for Il Commissario Montalbano, a long-running spy drama whose popularity spans various countries across the continent.
