2025 Modica Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

#High-altitude viewing #Overseas travel The Baroque ancient city of Modica in Sicily is listed as a World Cultural Heritage along with Noto. The best way to visit Modica is to climb up one flight of stairs after another, and look out over the rows of ancient houses built against the mountain. The stone tones retain a sense of simplicity here. There are a total of 254 steps leading to the Baroque-style church Duomo di San Giorgio. In front of the church is the best viewing platform for the entire town. The houses retain the light tones of stone, giving the town a more primitive and simple feel. There are many Baroque churches in the ancient city, which are also worth visiting. #Star Writers Go Go Go #Sicily

As you climb the steps from the lower city, this beautiful cathedral welcomes you at the top. ⛪️ Duomo di San Pietro At the lower part of the city is another gem, the Basilica of San Pietro. On both sides of the steps at the entrance to the cathedral, there are 12 statues of apostles, and the splendid decorations and sculptures overwhelm the viewer. Along with San Giorgio on the upper level, it is called the twin cathedral of Modica. 🏫 Corso Umberto I A wide street that runs through the center of Modica.

The Duomo di San Pietro in Modica is a must-see when you visit the city. This grand cathedral, with its stunning Baroque style predominantly in white, is truly magnificent. The church was established by San Marziano, a disciple of Saint Peter, the first bishop of Syracuse. Due to its connection with Saint Peter's disciple, the interior of the church features many motifs related to the tiara and Saint Peter. The entrance fee is €2.5 per person, which is well worth it.

#FreeHotelStay Located in the center of Modica, about a 5-minute drive from the Duomo di San Giorgio. A classic hotel that has been in business since 1780 and offers a view of the courtyard. The rooms and lobby are decorated to please fans of classic hotels, and the large bathtub with a jacuzzi is rare in Italy. The breakfast is delicious, with a selection of sweets, typical of Italy, and you won't be able to stop having second helpings in the morning. The only drawback is that you have to walk up a narrow hill to get to the center of town. Still, it's a hotel I'd like to stay at again.

#FreeHotelStay The oldest chocolate factory in Sicily, Dolceria Bonajuto, was founded in Modica in 1880. The characteristic of Bonajuto chocolate is that it is made at low temperatures following an ancient recipe of Mesoamerican origin. This is why the sugar crystals do not melt completely, resulting in a granular, rough texture! When I tried it for the first time, I was amazed by the punchy texture that blew away my concept of chocolate. I became addicted. I also participated in a tour of the factory and enjoyed tasting various chocolate sweets. I think it is a special chocolate from Italy, where chocolate is delicious.

#FreeHotelStay Modica is a World Heritage Site town that spreads out in a valley at an altitude of 300 meters. Modica's cathedral, Duomo di San Giorgio, is located in the old town, which is centered on a hill surrounded by a valley. First of all, the exterior is beautiful. The staircase, gardens, and the magnificent cathedral façade create a beautiful view. The beautiful curved design is feminine and more gorgeous than a cathedral, like a palace. The interior of the cathedral is even more elegant, with the altar and pipe organ lavishly decorated. The pale blue and gold colors stand out against the white of the ceiling and walls. There is an observation deck in front of the church, and it is nice to be able to look out over the old town.

#OverseasTravel Went to Osteria dei Sapori Perduti, a well-known local restaurant in the center of Modica, Sicily. The decoration inside is classic and simple, mainly wooden furniture, which has the warmth of home. Ordered a very homely dish, Pasta paddunedda, which was delicious. There are lots of little meatballs in the broth - plus the pasta, simple and delicious. Also ordered the Pistachio Parfait di pistacchio, a dessert similar to ice cream texture. Also, this restaurant is located on the main street under the Modica hillock, in a super convenient location, without having to climb stairs at all. 📍 Osteria dei Sapori Perduti Corso Umberto I°, 228, 97015 Modica #Italian travel #Europe travel #overseas travel
