Square Duomo and the Church of San Giorgio
Descrizione
Squadre Duomo is the beating heart of Ragusa Ibla, framed by the majestic Church of San Giorgio, an authentic masterpiece of Sicilian Baroque built between 1739 and 1775. This church is distinguished by its imposing three-order façade, richly decorated with Corinthian columns, niches and statues reflecting the city’s deep religious and artistic tradition. The interior, finely decorated with elaborate stucco work and frescoes of great historical and artistic value, creates a solemn and evocative atmosphere. The monumental staircase that connects Piazza Duomo to the area below constitutes a scenic route of great visual impact, making the complex an essential reference point for believers, tourists and art and culture enthusiasts. Piazza Duomo is undoubtedly one of the most representative and best-loved symbols of Ragusa Ibla, a hub of religious and cultural events that animate the city’s historic heart.
