212 of 226. We left Scicli and arrived in Modica in the Province of Ragusa. The Duomo di San Giorgio located in Modica Alta, is considered one of Sicily's most impressive baroque churches. Its origins date back to the medieval age. It was destroyed and rebuilt several times due to the seismic events of 1542, 1613 and the devastating earthquake of 1693. It was built in 1702 and completed with the placing of the iron cross on the spire in 1842. | |||
