What to see in Noto in one day: a 5-stage itinerary

Sicily is rich in culture and history. One of the most important artistic traditions on the island is certainly the Sicilian Baroque, which has some of the most important testimonies in the Val di Noto, which more than any other collects the masterpieces of this style, so much so as to be included in the UNESCO protected heritage.

But let’s focus on the “capital” of Baroque Sicily, which the art historian Cesare Brandi called a “stone garden”: here’s what to see in Noto in one day.

Cattedrale di Noto

The church dedicated to San Nicolò is the most important monument in the city and the main worship center in the whole Val di Noto. Here, the Sicilian Baroque reaches one of its maximum formal expressions.

Palazzo Nicolaci

The palace of Villadorata princes is another testimony to the artistic richness of this city and, together with the cathedral, is the emblem of the Sicilian baroque that still fascinates today thanks to its extraordinary beauty.

Eremo di San Corrado Fuori le mura

Located just outside the historic centre of the city, this sanctuary is one of the most important “landmarks” for the Christian faith in Sicily.

Chiesa di Santa Chiara and convento delle Benedettine

Another Baroque pearl among the things to see in Noto in one day. The value of its stuccos and the suggestions of architecture border on perfection and encourage meditation.
