It is the first town in the region for territorial extension. \u201cNoto\u201d is called the \u201ccapital of Baroque\u201d, in 2002 its historic center was declared a \u201cUNESCO World Heritage Site\u201d, along with the other late Baroque towns of the \u201cVal di Noto\u201d….” open_toggle_background_color=”#FFFFFF” closed_toggle_background_color=”#FFFFFF” icon_color=”#0C71C3″ open_icon_color=”#0C71C3″ admin_label=”Testo descrittivo del tour ad apertura” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” title_font=”|700|||||||” title_font_size=”20px” title_line_height=”1.6em” closed_title_font=”|600|||||||” closed_title_font_size=”18px” body_text_align=”justify” body_font_size=”16px” body_line_height=”1.4em” text_orientation=”justified” closed_title_font_size_tablet=”” closed_title_font_size_phone=”17px” closed_title_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” body_font_size_tablet=”” body_font_size_phone=”16px” body_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
\u201cNoto\u201d<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0 was razed to the ground by the 1693 earthquake. In this very harsh phase of the city’s history, a piece of history was wiped out: \u201cNoto\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, in fact, had passed through the hands of the Romans, Muslims and Normans<\/em>, who probably left a sign of their passage. So it was rebuilt on a larger and safer site, with a linear layout, using the local light and compact limestone, which time has given a wonderful golden color with shades of pink.<\/p>\nThe<\/strong> accessible tour of Noto<\/strong> will start from the entrance to the historic center is announced by the \u201cPorta Reale\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, an impressive 19th-century triumphal arch built for the visit of \u201cKing Ferdinand II of Bourbon\u201d<\/em>, known as the King of the Two Sicilies. In front of you is the main thoroughfare of the city, \u201cCorso Vittorio Emanuele\u201d<\/em>. A few meters further on, you come to the first of the three squares, \u201cPiazza Immacolata\u201d<\/em>. Here, at the top a staircase, you will find the \u201cChurch of San Francesco all’Immacolata\u201d<\/em>, characterized by a beautiful and simple Baroque fa\u00e7ade.<\/p>\nTo the left of the \u201cChurch of St. Francis\u201d<\/em> you will see the elegant monastery of St. Saviour with its beautiful tower and Belvedere. On the opposite side is the convent of Santa Chiara. Continuing along \u201cCorso Vittorio Emanuele\u201d <\/em>you will reach \u201cPiazza Municipio\u201d<\/em>, where you can admire the \u201cCathedral and Palazzo Ducezio\u201d. <\/em>The \u201cPalazzo Ducezio\u201d<\/strong>, <\/em>which houses the Town Hall, was built around 1760. The oval \u201cSala degli Specchi\u201d<\/em><\/strong> was enriched with \u201cLouis XV\u201d<\/em>-style stucco and gold and sumptuous mirrors at the end of the 19th century. The \u201cSala degli Specchi\u201d<\/em> is the city’s representative hall, and continues today to host illustrious delegations and prestigious events, such as the signing of the memorandum of understanding between the eight \u201cUNESCO\u201d<\/em> municipalities for the creation of the cultural district.<\/p>\n\u00a0If you moving a few more meters, you’ll suddenly slow down: your attention will be caught by \u201cVia Nicolaci\u201d,<\/em> a oblique street bordered by beautiful Baroque palaces, characterized by very imaginative little balconies adorned with mermaids, cherubs, horses and even lions and mythological characters.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\nLocated halfway along \u201cCorso Vittorio Emanuele\u201d<\/em>, \u201cPiazza del Municipio\u201d<\/em> is not named so by chance: it is exactly where the \u201cCathedral and Palazzo Ducezio\u201d<\/em> stand, as well as \u201cPalazzo Landolina\u201d<\/em> and, not far away, one of the best \u201ccassata\u201d<\/em> shops in town: \u201cCaff\u00e8 Costanzo\u201d<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\nAmong the palaces, the most noteworthy is \u201cPalazzo Nicolaci\u201d<\/em>, open to the public and a must-see. M. Returning to the Corso, and continuing for a few more metres, you will come across \u201cPiazza XVI MAGGIO\u201d<\/em>, where you can admire \u201cVilla D’Ercole\u201d<\/em> of 18th-century origin, the \u201cChurch of San Domenico\u201d<\/em>, and finally, completing the tour on your own, the \u201cTeatro Vittorio Emanuele\u201d<\/em>, dating back to the 19th century.<\/p>\nEnjoy and discover the city of Noto Accessible tour!<\/strong><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nOur tour guide will take care of your needs, making sure all the routes you will take,\u00a0will be accessible with your wheelchair or mobility scooter<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
