Overview

The guided tour of Ragusa Ibla explores the historic center in late Baroque style, among churches and elegant palaces that make it a true jewel of Sicily. It begins at the Portal of San Giorgio, the only element to survive the earthquake that destroyed the town and the ancient cathedral. This symbol of Ragusa, in Gothic-Catalan style, depicts Saint George fighting the dragon.

A short walk leads to the Ibleo Garden, the oldest in Ragusa, built in the 19th century and overlooking the Irminio Valley. Palm-lined paths welcome visitors into this peaceful oasis with fountains, a war memorial, and churches. Here we visit the Church of San Giacomo, known for its wooden ceiling, Corinthian columns, statues, and priceless paintings.

The tour continues through the historic center past Baroque palaces, artisan workshops, the Conversation Circle, and the Church of San Giuseppe.

The tour ends at the Cathedral of San Giorgio, with its grand staircase, artworks, organ, and statue of the saint.
