Modica
Baroque art and the art of chocolate
The town of Modica stands on top of a canyon. Even today you can still admire its charming and elegant noble palaces, a sign of its ancient wealth. These alternate with beautiful buildings, mostly churches, of exquisite Baroque art, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
In the oldest part of Modica, the houses are leaning against each other. This is because they were often built using part of the numerous caves characteristic of this area.
Signs of the medieval layout of the town can be seen in the layout of the streets in the centre, which are full of stairways and unusual arches.
The churches, in pure late Baroque style, are imposing and have magnificent façades. Not to be missed are the Church of San Giorgio with its monumental staircase of 250 steps; the Church of the Carmine, with its adjacent convent; the Cathedral of San Giovanni and the mighty Church of San Pietro.
However, Modica is not only famous for its baroque art, but also for the fine art of chocolate making.
Its manufacture began with the Spanish. They not only imported the cocoa beans but the way they were processed by the Aztecs. Today we have chocolate with an unmistakable, pure taste.
