What to see in Scicli, a baroque city<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ready to explore the magical backdrop of Scicli? Acquaduci offers perfectly located Scicli holiday rentals Sicily<\/strong>, providing the ideal tranquil base for exploring this wonderful UNESCO<\/a> town and the entire Val di Noto<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scicli sits on a plain where three valleys, known as “quarries,” meet: the Modica<\/a> quarry, the Santa Maria La Nova quarry, and the San Bartolomeo quarry. These valleys extend at the foot of ancient rock outcrops, giving the area a very picturesque appearance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The area is rich in caves, a feature that facilitated the settlement of rock-cut civilizations. Scicli may have been inhabited more than 3,000 years ago. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like other towns in the area, Scicli was destroyed by the tragic earthquake of 1693 and then rebuilt in the Baroque style of the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"View<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The historic center of Scicli is a jewel of Baroque architecture and has been recognized as a UNESCO<\/a> World Heritage Site.
The buildings are warm, golden in color, with sinuous lines and elegant decorations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scicli became known to the general public as the filming location for the popular television series “Inspector Montalbano<\/a>,” based on the novels by Andrea Camilleri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The inspector’s adventures are set in the Sicilian town of Vigata. “Vigata” doesn’t actually exist; it’s a fictitious name, but Scicli is home to some iconic locations: <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
