Noto, UNESCO Baroque town in southeastern Sicily, Italy
The limestone buildings of Noto form a harmonious urban layout with wide streets, grand staircases, and spacious squares arranged on different levels.
After the devastating earthquake of 1693, architects rebuilt the entire town at a new location using local limestone and geometric urban planning principles.
The Corso Vittorio Emanuele contains numerous palaces and religious structures that demonstrate the architectural grandeur of eighteenth-century Sicilian design.
Visitors can reach Noto by taking a one-hour drive from Catania Airport, with regular bus services connecting the town to major Sicilian cities.
Every May, artists create intricate flower mosaics along Via Nicolaci during the Infiorata festival, transforming the street into a natural art gallery.
