Modica, a baroque city in the Val di Noto, is located in the south-east of Sicily (eastern Sicily) and has been part of the UNESCO world heritage cities since 2002. Famous for its great artistic and cultural heritage as well as its gastronomic one. Consider that the Treccani Encyclopedia defines Modica as "the most unique city in Italy after Venice". It is a city of Neolithic origin, capital of an ancient and powerful County, which boasts a rich repertoire of gastronomic specialties, as well as a great artistic and cultural heritage. Today it is best known for the production of typical Aztec-derived chocolate.



The historic center of the city, entirely rebuilt following the 1693 earthquake, is certainly very suggestive. Today, walking through the streets of Modica means taking a journey steeped in history among late Baroque buildings, churches with majestic steps and great masterpieces. From the pen of Andrea Camilleri was born one of the most beloved characters of the detective genre, who became the protagonist of a successful television series.
