The Portal of San Giorgio
Descrizione

Carved in stone with masterly craftsmanship, the portal is distinguished by its rich floral decorations, symbolic motifs and refined details, testifying to the high artistic level typical of Sicilian Baroque. Located in the heart of Ragusa’s historic centre, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this monumental entrance was part of an important building and represents an important historical, architectural and cultural landmark for the city. Today, the portal attracts tourists, scholars and art lovers, fascinated by its beauty and the cultural significance it embodies, a symbol of the rich Baroque tradition of the Iblei.
