Noto

Walking through the centre of Noto, one has the perception that the architectural monuments are living history, man-made works of art and significant evidence of history. After the destructive power of the earthquake, Noto fell and was rebuilt, because there is always the possibility of a new beginning.

Itinerary

The tour begins in Syracuse with a walking tour through myth, history and traditions, exploring the origins of the ancient city of Noto.

The Porta Reale, the city’s main entrance, welcomes you to magnificent Noto. Walking along Corso Vittorio Emanuele is the only access for strolling among magnificent buildings and beautiful façades, such as the Church of Santa Chiara and Palazzo Ducezio, where the town council is currently based.
