Noto city
UNESCO World Heritage site, Noto, is known as the most stunning baroque town in Sicily. Noto is magnificent and appears like a movie set. One church is more stunning than the next and the amber-gold colour of its beautiful palazzi is a haunting experienced, indeed. Explore Noto’s Duomo and stroll along Noto’s main pedestrian street, Corso Vittorio Emanuele.
Do not miss the local Infiorata, a festival of flowers, held in Noto on the third May weekend: for two and a half days, Via Nicolaci, one of Noto's many lovely streets, is taken over by local and foreign artists who work together on a set theme to create a kaleidoscopic carpet of petal mosaics using flowers grown especially for the event.
