The historical centre of Ragusa, called 'Ragusa Ibla', is a must visit! You can have a lovely time just walking around the rambling streets and finishing up with an aperitivo in the main square. The famous show 'Inspector Montelbano' was often filmed here.

Ragusa Ibla (old town), not to be missed. Pietra di Comiso comes from this area.

One of the most fascinating towns in Sicily, Ragusa has caused many a visitor’s jaw to drop as they first set eyes on it. Essentially Baroque, the Ragusa you will see today dates almost entirely from 1693, for it was in that year that Ragusa, along with its neighbours Noto, Modica, Scicli, and Catania, was razed to the ground by a terrible earthquake that hit most of the eastern side of Sicily. Public opinion on where to rebuild the town was divided, and so a compromise was made. The wealthier, more aristocratic citizens built a new town in a different site, now Ragusa Superiore, while the other half of the population decided to rebuild on the original site, on a ridge at the bottom of a gorge, now known as Ragusa Ibla. The two towns remained separated until 1926 when they were merged to become the chief town of the province. While the upper part of Ragusa has its fair share of architectural delights, it is the smaller Ragusa Ibla down below that really draws visitors. Whether you approach it from Modica to the south or from Ragusa Superiore, the sight of the jumble of houses, churches and civic palazzi piled on top of each other, clinging to the walls of the gorge, is really quite breathtaking. Although its built on an existing mediaeval plan, the town’s heart has a certain amount of baroque logic to it, and most of the buildings date from that period. From palazzolo to Ragusa there are 37,7 km (48 min.)
