The watermill “Cavallo d’Ispica” is an original piece of jewellery of rural art of the 18th century, situated on the northern part of the archaeological valley of Cava d’Ispica, few kilometres from Modica, centre of hyblean baroque as well as hometown of poet Quasimodo and famous for its renowned chocolate.
We loved our visit to Mulino ad Acqua. Each unique space gives you a great insight into the history of the area and how people lived there. Seeing the mill in action and operated the latest in many generations of millers who have worked there is really fascinating.

A lovely shop full of handmade and handpainted art that are great for yourself or to give as gifts to friends and family, the shop is worth a visit when you go see Modica. We both some handpainted tiles for in our garden house.

A beautiful Church, very well kept! It was a short visit and we could not appreciate all the art it contains! Deserves another visit!

Situated halfway between the upper and lower town, the impressive tower can be seen from large parts of the town. The cathedral which is dedicated to St George was built on the site of a 13th century church and the current building was rebuilt after the 1693 earthquake. The church is reached by an impressive flight of steps from the main road through the town - wear flat shoes for the climb. Inside is very ornate and you go up the tower for an extra charge of 2 euros.There is a silver ark which contains the earthly remains of the saint whose statue is on display in a side chapel - this is paraded through the town in great celebrations on St George's Day.On the floor in front of the altar is an elliptical sundial and also the geographical co-ordinates of the church. Obviously a very popular venue for weddings so it may be closed for a ceremony even though it is within opening times which are 9-1 and 3.30-7 - if you are staying in the town, your hotel may be able to advise.

A place that is a journey through history. A church and a cloister where architecture, light and art capture attention, staring a visual and spatial experience that will be memorable and impressive. From a convent to a prison, from the fifteenth to the early nineteenth century, from earthquakes to the restoration, a wonderful gem arrives until our days to affirm the value of our cultural heritage.
Really fantastic old monastery and in the near past it was used as a prison. The nearby town is also lovely with its steep and narrow streets.

We entered this shrine to the local chocolate and loved the experience, Plenty of samples and things to buy so you were able to appreciate this grainy chocolate for what it is. You find it off the main street down a short lane opposite the lower grand church. A good choice.

Fantastic views of Modica. This place is worth the climb from Modica Bassa. I've done the steps to the top many times in the past but I had my Dad drop us off at the top this time. We decided to go up during sunset to enjoy the beauty of the city. We then made our way down by foot through the narrow streets of Modica Alta. While you're at the top you'll notice a little bar behind you. They serve drinks, beer, food and of course the famous Modica Chocolate. They even have free samples which my daughter simply loves. Make sure you check out their beautiful meat slicing machine. I need one of these. Do not miss this amazing view from the top of the mountain. Sunset is a popular time to take in the sites plus it's cooler then midday. After taking in the sites, you walk down the mountain and think about all the amazing food you'll find at the bottom of Modica.
