What to expect

  1. Porta Reale
    Pass by
    Pass beneath Noto's monumental neoclassical triumphal arch, the ceremonial gateway to the Baroque old town.
  2. Convento San Francesco d'Assisi all'Immacolata
    Pass by
    Admire this elevated Franciscan church, reached by a dramatic three-flight staircase — an early set-piece of Noto's Baroque reconstruction.
  3. Pass by
    Admire the curving Baroque facade of this church, once home to cloistered Benedictine nuns and a rare oval interior.
  4. Pass by
    See Noto's stately town hall, home to the opulent Sala degli Specchi (Hall of Mirrors).
  5. Pass by
    Stand in Noto's grand Baroque square, a staged dialogue between the Cathedral and the town hall.
  6. Cattedrale di San Nicolo
    Pass by
    Behold Noto's golden Cathedral, twice reborn — after the 1693 earthquake and again after its dome collapsed in 1996.
  7. Via Corrado Nicolaci
    Pass by
    Walk the sloping street that becomes a carpet of flowers each May during Noto's Infiorata festival.
  8. Chiesa di Montevergine
    Pass by
    Take in the concave facade that elegantly closes the view at the top of Via Nicolaci.
  9. Chiesa di San Carlo Borromeo
    Pass by
    Study the three classical column orders on this former Jesuit church, once a vice-cathedral and an Antonioni film set.
  10. Pass by
    End at Gagliardi's masterpiece, a convex Baroque facade often called the finest in Noto.
