Polara Palace
Descrizione
Polara Palace, located on Via Polara, adjacent to the majestic Cathedral of San Giorgio in Modica Alta, is a fine example of 18th-century civil Baroque architecture. Its elegant façade is distinguished by finely crafted wrought-iron balconies and carved details in local stone, which tell of the craftsmanship typical of the area. The monumental portal, imposing and scenic, leads to sumptuous interiors, characterised by decorations rich in frescoes and precious stuccoes, visible to the public only on special occasions or guided tours. This palace bears witness to the prestige and power of Modica’s noble families, fitting perfectly into the historical and artistic fabric of the old town. It thus offers a precious glimpse of Modica’s everyday life and eighteenth-century style, evoking an atmosphere of elegance and refinement from another era.
