Itinerary
Pass beneath Noto's monumental neoclassical triumphal arch, the ceremonial gateway to the Baroque old town.
Admire this elevated Franciscan church, reached by a dramatic three-flight staircase — an early set-piece of Noto's Baroque reconstruction.
Admire the curving Baroque facade of this church, once home to cloistered Benedictine nuns and a rare oval interior.
See Noto's stately town hall, home to the opulent Sala degli Specchi (Hall of Mirrors).
Stand in Noto's grand Baroque square, a staged dialogue between the Cathedral and the town hall.
Behold Noto's golden Cathedral, twice reborn — after the 1693 earthquake and again after its dome collapsed in 1996.
Walk the sloping street that becomes a carpet of flowers each May during Noto's Infiorata festival.
Take in the concave facade that elegantly closes the view at the top of Via Nicolaci.
Study the three classical column orders on this former Jesuit church, once a vice-cathedral and an Antonioni film set.
End at Gagliardi's masterpiece, a convex Baroque facade often called the finest in Noto.
