Private Tour of Noto

We'll meet at the entrance gate to the historic center of Noto, at the Porta Reale or Porta Ferdinandea, near the Church of San Francesco d'Assisi. The tour begins with a visit to this church, showcasing its frescoes and decorations.

Next, we'll walk along the main street to the Church of Santa Chiara, known for its stucco columns and statues of apostles and cherubs.

Continuing, we'll stop at Piazza del Duomo, home to the Ducezio Palace, the City Hall, built between the 18th and 19th centuries, featuring a notable frescoed ceiling.

In front of this palace is the monumental staircase leading to the Cathedral of St. Nicholas, a symbol of Noto that has collapsed three times over the years.

We will then explore Via Nicolaci, famous for its "infiorata," and admire the noble palaces, especially the Nicolaci Palace with its decorated balconies showcasing carvings of various figures.

Finally, we'll visit the Loggia del Mercato, now a venue for cultural events, and conclude the tour at the neoclassical Tina di Lorenzo Theater and the Hercules Fountain after a 2-hour experience.
