Province of Ragusa, Former administrative province in southeastern Sicily, Italy.
Province of Ragusa is a former administrative district in southeastern Sicily with highland areas in the north and Mediterranean coastline in the south. The territory comprises twelve municipalities, several of which are known for their baroque architecture and urban design.
After the 1693 earthquake, the region was entirely rebuilt in the baroque style, which became a defining feature of southeastern Sicily. This reconstruction made it one of Europe's most important examples of baroque urban planning.
The region is known for its baroque churches and palaces that were rebuilt after the 1693 earthquake. These buildings shape how the towns look and show how people here have preserved their past.
The region is accessible by a local airport, regional train connections, and well-developed roads linking the various towns together. Visitors should know that the hilly terrain means longer travel times between municipalities.
The region is famous for growing vegetables in greenhouses that are sold throughout Europe, showing the area's modern agriculture. The Castle of Donnafugata with its extensive parkland is one of the most striking historical estates and draws many visitors.
