Unlocking Doors

"Unlocking Doors" is an exclusive guided tour in Ragusa Ibla through the places of leisure of the late 19th century aristocratic Ragusa Ibla. The places included in the tour are: - the "Circolo di Conversazione" - the "Donnafugata Theatre" - the private garden of "Palazzo Arezzo - Bertini" These monuments, considered to be among the best attractions in Ragusa Ibla beside the baroque monuments of the UNESCO World Heritage list, have been inaccessible so far, since they are private estates. Therefore, thanks to the availability of the owners and the present members of the Circolo, the "Iblazon Association" have managed a brand new tour that opens the doors of these palaces to the visitors who want to learn more about how the members of Sicilian aristocracy lived, where they met and spent their free time together and, especially, about how they have contributed to the untouched beauty and astonishing scenario of Piazza Duomo and Corso XXV Aprile in Ragusa Ibla. The tour is led by qualified tour guides filled with genuine passion for their hometown. Through the magnificent rooms of the Circolo, the vivid splendour of the Arezzo of Donnafugata private theatre, and the charming scent of a "secret garden" hidden in the centre of the old town, they will be glad to reveal the secrets behind each site and the life of the protagonists of a glorious Ragusa Ibla, in a climate that resembles very closely the world described in "The Leopard" by G. Tomasi di Lampedusa. A pure travel in the past in the search of the true spirit of a lost Sicily. The tour guides are: - Clorinda Arezzo: B.A. in Cultural Heritage Management, M.A. student in Medieval Archaeology, Licensed Tour Guide - Damiano Bracchitta: B.A. in Classics & Archaeology, PhD student in Archaeology, Licensed Tour Guide

Giardini Iblei

Reviewed By AlanS656 - Glen Iris, Australia

Half expecting a light toned suited Sicilian to walk out of one of the adjoining buildings [like in the Godfather films] this little garden is an oasis in the far end of this town. No, it's not the best garden in the world, but boy is it memorable with the dry desolate surrounding hills and valleys, and this green Italianette garden with stone paths and shading trees in this gorgeous town.

Duomo di San Giorgio

Reviewed By Elena257 - Timisoara, Romania

This church is one of a kind. It dominates the square. Inside you will see the only church having curtains hanged between the columns. You can also have a small tour if the old church destroyed after earthquake.

Portale di San Giorgio

Reviewed By SallyF906 - Northampton, United Kingdom

Not far from the Giardini Ibleo, this is all that remains of the Church of San Giorgio that was destroyed in the C17th earthquake but it is certainly worth going to have a look. Originally built in C14th probably by the notable Chiaramonte family it is constructed in the Catalan Gothic style. In the lunette you can see St George slaying the dragon and above that the House of Aragon coat of arms.

San Giovanni Battista's Cathedral

Reviewed By AnnoAurora

It was the noontime bells ringing from this Cathedral that lured me over there during a short stay at Ragusa. It was a great experience to enter there and share time for prayers, knowing that millions of other people before me through the ages, did exactly that.

Ragusa Ibla

Reviewed By traveltheglobe0919 - Singapore, Singapore

The best way to appreciate Ragusa Ibla is to climb up to Ragusa Superiore and enjoy the breathtaking views at sunset at the steps next to Chiesa di Santa Maria Della Scale. You can also choose to take the local bus up, and walk about 10 mins to the vantage point. Buses #11 or #33 depart from the bus stop at the front of of the main garden Giardino Ibleo. The ride up is scenic and rewarding, and offers a different experience vs the climb. We did both. Took the bus up for sunset and did the hike at the break of dawn to catch sunrise. I must say that the sunset views are more spectacular. Ragusa Ibla is a charming little hilltop city that can be easily explored in two days at a leisurely pace. To me it’s like an open air museum where you’ll want to check out every nook and corner. In the evenings, the city gets even more atmospheric as you stroll along the cobbled streets set against a backdrop of lovely baroque architecture amid dramatic lighting.
