Ragusa is a city with two souls: the modern city and the ancient city of Ibla, its Baroque salon.
This duality stems from the famous earthquake of 1693, which razed the city to the ground. The reconstruction, which took place in the 18th century, divided it into two large districts: on one side, Ragusa Superiore, located on the plateau, and on the other, Ragusa Ibla, built on the ruins of the ancient city.
