Noto’s Baroque cathedral glows at sunset.
timeworn streets packed with over 2,500 years of history. As we entered the town we stopped to take in the remains of the Temple of Apollo, dating back to the 6th century B.C. and said to be the first great Doric temple
of its kind in Sicily. We walked along the coastal promenade on the way to Castello
Savoca honors Italian director Francis Ford Coppola.
Maniace, built by Frederick II to fend off numerous invading forces. Since the castle was unexpectedly closed, we wound our way back to the small but informative museum dedicated to Archimedes, resident of the city.
There are many other sites to visit as well as shops and restaurants. We stopped to eat
at a small café overlooking the Fountain of Arethusa, one of the towns most beloved attractions. Water comes from the Ciane River, and it flows calmly among papyri plants, ducks, and huge fish. The fountain became a symbol of the city as its fresh water saved the city’s population during several sieges.
We were unable to explore these sites in depth, so they all deserve another visit during a future trip. We hope you might consider visiting some of these charming towns if you travel to Sicily. There truly is something to interest everyone on this magical island! IAH
