Duomo of San Giorgio, Baroque cathedral in Modica, Italy
Standing at the top of a 250-step staircase, the Duomo of San Giorgio rises above Modica with its ornate limestone facade and multiple bell towers.
The cathedral underwent extensive reconstruction between 1702 and 1738 under architect Rosario Gagliardi following the devastating earthquakes that struck Sicily in 1693.
The interior features five aisles supported by 22 Corinthian columns, housing numerous paintings including works by Girolamo Alibrandi and Filippo Paladini.
Located at Corso San Giorgio in central Modica, the cathedral opens daily from morning until evening, allowing visitors to explore its architectural grandeur.
The cathedral floor contains a meridian pavement that functions as a sundial, marking local noon and displaying the geographical coordinates of Modica.
