Modica

Modica is an ancient city in Sicily, famous for its Baroque architecture, Rococo churches and glorious views of the Mediterranean sunset. Located between the Iblean mountains and valleys, it’s an enchanting city to explore. The Castello dei Conti, or Castle of the Counts, is one of the great must-visits in Modica. Built in 1360, it was once one of the most powerful fortresses in Sicily and still stands strong in its place atop the town. From its grand walls and turrets, visitors get unparalleled views of Modica’s red-tiled rooftops, bell towers and rugged hills. Visit the tower where you can climb to the apex and take in the panoramic views of the town, including the twelfth-century twin churches and St. George's Castle.
