One of the eight towns in the cluster of UNESCO Late Baroque Towns of the Val di Noto, Scicli is both smaller and more lowkey than <a title=\"Modica, Sicily\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/en\/modica\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Modica<\/a> and <a title=\"Ragusa, Sicily\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/guide-to-ragusa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ragusa<\/a>, but nevertheless, utterly charming and with plenty of attractions to fill a day or two with leisurely sightseeing.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Where is Scicli?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Scicli is conveniently located between the coast and rural heart of the region, around 10km to the south of Modica and 25km south of Ragusa. The town has a dramatic setting in a gorge, overlooked by a rocky mass.<\/p>\n<p>Just a short drive from the white sandy beaches of Punta Secca, Marina di Ragusa and the lively resort of Pozzallo, it\u2019s a superb base for anyone looking to combine days on the beach with some gentle sightseeing. For those who want to venture further afield, it\u2019s around an hour and a quarter\u2019s drive to the magnificent city of Syracuse and for visitors from mainland Italy or overseas, Catania airport is less than 2 hours away.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3934\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3934\" style=\"width: 967px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/scicli-1.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3934\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3934\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/scicli-1.jpg\" alt=\"Scicli by night\" width=\"967\" height=\"644\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/scicli-1.jpg 967w, https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/scicli-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/scicli-1-768x511.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 967px) 100vw, 967px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3934\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Scicli by night<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><strong>The history of Scicli<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The town\u2019s name is thought to derive from its founders, the Sicels who lived in Sicily before the Greeks. Following centuries of rule by invading forces, in common with the other baroque towns of the Val di Noto, Scicli was devastated by the 1693 earthquake in which thousands of the town\u2019s population died. The magnificent baroque buildings dotted around the town today are the result of the subsequent reconstruction.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Top attractions in Scicli<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Much of the pleasure of visiting Scicli is derived from simply strolling past the magnificent architecture and soaking up the atmosphere. However, the following buildings definitely merit a visit. Start by getting your bearings in the very beautiful pedestrianised Via Francesco Mormino Penna, home to several Baroque palaces and churches, and a good place to sit and watch the world go by.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3936\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3936\" style=\"width: 966px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/town-of-scicli-1.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3936\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3936\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/town-of-scicli-1.jpg\" alt=\"Strolling in the town centre\" width=\"966\" height=\"644\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/town-of-scicli-1.jpg 966w, https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/town-of-scicli-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/town-of-scicli-1-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 966px) 100vw, 966px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3936\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Strolling in the town centre<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Palazzo Beneventano<\/h3>\n<p>This 17<sup>th<\/sup> century building is best known for its superb fa\u00e7ade, complete with curved balconies, monstrous gargoyles, frills and follies.

But its exterior is as beautiful as its interiors, adorned with balconies featuring geometric and floral motifs.<\/p>\n<h3>Montalbano in Scicli<\/h3>\n<p>If you enjoyed the detective Montalbano books and TV series, be sure to stop by the town hall, also on Via Mormino Penna, which was used as the fictional police station, the \u2018Commissariato di Vigata\u2019. Palazzo Iacono, in nearby Piazza Italia, was used as the exterior of the \u2018Questura di Montelusa\u2019, the fictional regional police HQ.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3933\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3933\" style=\"width: 966px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/scicli-panoramic-vie-2.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3933\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3933\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/scicli-panoramic-vie-2.jpg\" alt=\"&quot;Commissariato di Vigata&quot; Municipio di Scicli\" width=\"966\" height=\"644\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/scicli-panoramic-vie-2.jpg 966w, https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/scicli-panoramic-vie-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/scicli-panoramic-vie-2-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 966px) 100vw, 966px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3933\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">&#8220;<em>Commissariato di Vigata<\/em>&#8220;.

Decorated in a classic Sicilian Baroque style, highlights include several remarkable frescoes and a series of Ionic columns of precious white marble, in addition to the Crucifix of Burgos painting.<\/p>\n<p>Other baroque churches include the Chiesa di Santa Teresa and the 18th century Chiesa di San Michele Arcangelo. The Chiesa di San Matteo was once the town\u2019s \u2018mother\u2019 church, set high above the town and accessed by a zigzag path with views of the gorges and caves beyond. The Chiesa di Santa Maria della Catena, set on the path that leads down from San Matteo, was built directly into the rock face but is now no longer open to the public.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3935\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3935\" style=\"width: 966px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/scicli-duomo.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3935\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3935\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/scicli-duomo.jpg\" alt=\"Chiesa di San Bartolomeo\" width=\"966\" height=\"644\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/scicli-duomo.jpg 966w, https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/scicli-duomo-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/scicli-duomo-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 966px) 100vw, 966px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3935\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chiesa di San Bartolomeo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3937\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3937\" style=\"width: 966px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/scicli-church.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3937\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3937\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/scicli-church.jpg\" alt=\"Chiesa Madre di S.

The original scales and cash register are still in situ and antique apothecary jars sit in glass cabinets lining the walls. And if you think it all looks familiar, it may be due to its appearances in the Montalbano series.<\/p>\n<p>You can get a good sense of the history of the town in one of its oldest districts, the abandoned cave settlement of Chiafura. A visit to a \u2018show\u2019 cave home, A Rutta ri Ron Carmelu, provides a fascinating insight into cave life and the family history of owner Ron Carmelu.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3938\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3938\" style=\"width: 966px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/fornace-penna-SAMPIERI-1.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3938\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3938\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/fornace-penna-SAMPIERI-1.jpg\" alt=\"Fornace Penna, Sampieri\" width=\"966\" height=\"644\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/fornace-penna-SAMPIERI-1.jpg 966w, https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/fornace-penna-SAMPIERI-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/fornace-penna-SAMPIERI-1-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 966px) 100vw, 966px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3938\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fornace Penna, Sampieri<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>A day at the beach<\/h3>\n<p>The coastline to the south of Scicli is characterised by a string of excellent beaches.
