Noto, Sicily, Italy

#Overseas Travel The classic Baroque town of Noto is located in the southeast of Sicily. In 1693 a very severe Sicilian earthquake nearly leveled this medieval town. In the decades after the earthquake, the town was rebuilt in typical Sicilian Baroque style. The exteriors of the buildings are exquisite and gorgeous, full of classical style. It was later listed as a World Cultural Heritage Site. Many buildings are constructed using sandy yellow tuff, which gives the town a honey-gold hue when the sun shines on it. Piazza Municipio, the Cathedral of Noto and the Ducezio Palace are the highlights of this place. #ItalianTravel #EuropeTravel #OverseasTravel #Sicily
