Modica: This proud, prosperous and ancient city is one of Sicily's baroque gems. The main street, "il Corso", is as typical an Italian meeting place as any you can hope to visit, with cafés and majestic buildings. The church of San Giorgio is an impressive monument, redesigned after the earthquake of 1693, surrounded by a flight of 250 steps to further enhance the scenic beauty of its fine facade.
