Scicli
(24 km from Ragusa; 26,000 inhabitants; 106 m. a.s.l.: zip code
97018; area code 0932), elegant town of the province of Ragusa,
is set in a broad valley, in the middle of rocky hills.
It
rises at the confluence of three deep valleys, called: San Bartolomeo,
Santa Maria La Nuova and Fiumara di Modica.
Its
18th century look comes from the reconstruction following the earthquake
in 1693. The elegant design of buildings, churches and urban plan,
the richness in spaces and the splendid effects gave it the appellation
of "Baroque Jewel".
