12/27/06 - We left Ragusa for Modica, just a few km away down the valley to see its Duomo that overlooks the town. Then we visited Siracusa and Ortygia, center of Greece's colony on Sicily.
Chiesa di San Giovanni in Modica Alta (upper) with a concave facade.

Duomo di San Giorgio.

Facade attributed to Rosario Gagliardi.


Amazing view from the church down to Modica Bassa (lower).







Nave with two aisles on each side.
