Ragusa
Capital Of The Province Of The Same Name Since
1927, Heir Of The Siculan Hibla Heraia, Ragusa, A
Town With The Characteristic *forma Piscis*, Has
An Ancient, Fascinating History.
Situated In An Area Inhabited Since The Third
Millennium Bc. Owing To Its Strategic Geographic
Position And Its Defendable Territory With A
Wealth Of Water Courses, The Town Was First
Occupied By The Greeks, Then By The Romans, And
Successively By The Byzantines And Arabs.
Jealous Custodian Of Late-gothic And Renaissance
Architectonic Elements, But Distinguished For The
Sumptuous Baroque Appearance Of The
Eighteenth-century Reconstruction, Ragusa Is
Studded With Churches And Noble Mansions,
Including The Church Of S. Giorgio, One Of The
Most Majestic Examples Of The Sicilian Baroque,
The Splendid Cathedral Of S. Giovanni, The
Cosentini Palazzo, With Its Elegant Balconies
Supported By Elaborate, Finely-worked Corbels,
And The La Rocca And Donnafugata Palazzos.
Lively And Modern, The Town Nowadays Bases Its

Beautiful Anchorage. As Powerful And Famous As
Athens And Rome In The Ancient World, Nowadays A
Modern, Dynamic City, Syracuse Is Blessed With A
Large Natural Port In Which The Islet Of Ortygia
Lies, The Seat Of Remote Settlements Dating From
The Fourteenth Century Bc.
Flourishing Once More Under The Normans, Severely

Urban Fabric Acquiring A Baroque Aspect With The

Intense Light, A Mild Climate Throughout The
Year, And The Ancient Charm Of Almonds Blooming
In The Spring And Cloaking The Town In Color And
Scent, Make Agrigento One Of The Most Fascinating
Places In The Region.
It Still Conserves The Intricate Fifth-century
Hypogea *network Of Underground Passages*,

Spirito Monastic Complex And The Cathedral, The
Regional Archaeological Museum, One Of The Most

Territorial Waters Of Italy, Lies The Pelagian
Archipelago, From The Greek *pelagos* *sea*, A

Dazzling Radiance Of The Light There.
A Limestone Island, Linked To Sicily By Means Of
An Efficient Ship/ferry Service From Porto
Empedocle, As Well As By Plane From Palermo, It
Belongs To The African Continental Shelf.
Wild, Unspoilt Paradise, Lampedusa Has An
Extremely Jagged And Varied Coastline* High
Cliffs, Full Of Caves, That Drop Precipitously To
The Sea In The North, Gentle Slopes And Splendid
Beaches To The South-east, Where Small Sandy
Coves And Fascinating Creeks - Salina, Guitgia
And The Palme Creeks - Continually Alternate.
The Island*s Marine And Land Fauna Is Stupendous,
Indeed, Here The Sea Turtle Still Lays Its Eggs
On The Beaches, Especially On Their Favorite,
Very White Sandy Beach *dei Conigli*.
