From Ragusa following the SS 115 for about 15 km we reach Modica, the baroque city of the Val di Noto, also part of the UNESCO world heritage cities.

Famous for its great artistic and cultural heritage as well as its gastronomic one.

Consider that Modica as "the most unique city in Italy after Venice".

Its historic center is divided into two neighborhoods: Modica Alta and Modica Bassa.

You have to get lost in the labyrinths of houses and alleys with stairways wrapped around the spur of the hill to admire the many unique churches present such as the Cathedral of St Giorgio, symbol of Sicilian Baroque, with its characteristic staircase.

Even here you can breathe the Sicily of Montalbano this is where many scenes from the fiction Inspector Montalbano were filmed.

For example, the staircase is featured in the episode Gita a Tindari.

Walk through the secondary streets and reach Palazzo Grimaldi, the home of Doctor Pasquano.

Modica is also the place where Montalbano goes to the bus stop to pick up his longtime girlfriend Livia.

In Modica there is the birthplace of Quasimodo, Nobel Prize winner for literature, in which many objects that belonged to the man of letters such as the Olivetti typewriter are preserved.
