"Vittorio" Apartment

Modica : Lage und Umgebung dieser Immobilie

We are in the heart of the historic center of Modica, a city in the province of Ragusa, at the southernmost tip of Sicily. Along with Ragusa and Scicli, Modica was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001. Modica is described as "in the shape of a split pomegranate," as Gesualdo Bufalino puts it, nestled on the hills that converge toward the bed of two rivers, covered at the beginning of the 20th century, and what is now Corso, the current main street, is the point of connection of the "pomegranate," whose seeds are nothing but the countless houses clinging to the rock and some carved into it, separated by a maze of alleys and stairs with a medieval flavor. The property we are dealing with is a few hundred meters from Corso and the church of San Pietro, ascending the winding streets of the Cartellone district, the ancient Jewish quarter, among noble residences and popular houses. The charm of Modica lies precisely in this scenographic, unexpected, and unusual location, between the original Iblean Baroque, made of golden stone, and medieval reminiscences. Not far from the sea and golden beaches, surrounded by beautiful countryside marked by characteristic dry stone walls, Modica is part of the Iblean Territory, increasingly chosen by foreigners and locals alike for its beauty, climate, culture, and quality of life. The distance from Comiso Airport is 40 minutes.
