Square Pola and Church of San Giuseppe

Square Pola, located in the heart of Ragusa Ibla, is one of the most important and lively urban spaces in the historic centre. This historic square is the fulcrum of the social, cultural and religious life of the district, a place where meetings, cultural events, shows and traditional markets are held, animating the city’s atmosphere on a daily basis. Surrounding the square are elegant Baroque buildings, evidence of Ragusa Ibla’s architectural and artistic identity, giving the place a timeless charm. Adjacent to Piazza Pola is the Church of San Giuseppe, a true jewel of Sicilian Baroque dating back to the 18th century, with a richly decorated façade characterised by stuccoes and statues, and an interior housing precious works of sacred art. Both places are key landmarks in the religious and social life of the community, as well as attracting visitors from all over the world, eager to immerse themselves in the history and culture of Ragusa Ibla.
