Private Tour of Ispica
Private Tour of Ispica
We'll meet up in front of the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore in Ispica at the designated time, and from there, we'll embark on an immersive exploration of this charming town in Ragusa, renowned as the backdrop for the renowned TV series "Il Commissario Montalbano."
Our journey begins with a visit to the Basilica, the town's most significant temple. This 18th-century architectural masterpiece, adorned in Baroque and Rococo styles, captivates with its exquisite statues, stucco work, and 26 remarkable frescoes by the painter Sozzi.
Inside the Basilica, we'll encounter the statue of the Most Holy Christ Flagellated at the Column, a cherished symbol used during Holy Thursday processions on Easter. This historic church, recognized as a National Monument in 1908, is further enhanced by an awe-inspiring loggia designed by architect Sinatra, inspired by St. Peter's Basilica in Rome.
As we meander through the narrow streets of the meticulously rebuilt historic center following a devastating earthquake in 1693, we'll also admire the majestic Palazzo Bruno di Belmonte, which now houses the town hall.
After an enriching two-hour guided tour, our journey concludes in front of the Basilica of the Santissima Annunziata, leaving us in awe of its splendid Baroque elements.
