Modica Old Town - Duomo di San Giorgio
Il Duomo di San Giorgio in Modica viene spesso indicato e segnalato come monumento simbolo del Barocco siciliano tipico di questo estremo lembo d'Italia. La chiesa di San Giorgio, inserita nella Lista Mondiale dei Beni dell'Umanità dell'UNESCO, è il risultato finale della ricostruzione sei/settecentesca, avvenuta in seguito ai disastrosi terremoti che colpirono Modica nel 1542, nel 1613 e nel 1693 (il più grave, vedi Terremoto del Val di Noto); lievi danni apportarono i sismi nell'area iblea succedutisi nel corso del Settecento e nel 1848.
L'imponente facciata a torre, che si eleva per un'altezza complessiva di 62 metri, fu costruita a partire dal 1702 e completata, nel coronamento finale e con l'apposizione della croce in ferro sulla guglia, nel 1842.
Modica viene anche definita "presepe a cielo aperto" grazie a tantissime lampadine che colorano la città.
The Duomo di San Giorgio in Modica is often indicated and marked as a symbol of the Sicilian Baroque typical of this extreme flap of Italy. The Church of San Giorgio, included in the World Heritage List of UNESCO, is the end result of the sixth / eighteenth-century reconstruction following the disastrous earthquakes that struck Modica in 1542, 1613 and 1693 (the most serious , see Earthquake of the Val di Noto); slight damage caused the earthquakes in the iblea area that took place during the eighteenth and 1848s.
The imposing tower facade, which rises to a total height of 62 meters, was built from 1702 and completed in 1842 in the final crown and with the attachment of the iron cross on the spire.
Modica is also called "open-air crib" thanks to a large number of bulbs that color the city.
