RELAIS PARCO CAVALONGA
accommodations Ragusa Sicily
The Iblea region: an enclave on the island of Sicily,
a plateau that is raised above the towns of Syracuse and Noto, and which
gently slopes down until it meets the sea on the South and the East.
The city of Ragusa, capital of the province of the same name, is located
about an hour's drive from Syracuse, the nearest large city. Ragusa's population
falls a shade short of 70,000. For most visitors, Ragusa and its province
are off the beaten path. However, this factor also has an advantage since
the area is one of the more tranquil and thus more "authentically"
Sicilian of the Baroque splendour.island's nine provinces, and while the
province of Enna can make the same claim, landlocked Enna doesn't have any
beaches while Ragusa has. Consequently, the dearth of tourists here makes
the beaches of the province of Ragusa some of the cleanest and affordable
and least crowded to be found in Sicily. Though we would not place Ragusa
and its surrounding area on the must-see list of Sicilian attractions, if
you are traveling from Syracuse to Agrigento or vice-versa, Ragusa and its
Baroque churches are worth seeing.
Ragusa is really two towns combined into one municipality in 1926. Lower Ragusa, known as Ragusa Ibla, or simply "Ibla," was the ancient city, rebuilt after suffering heavy damage due to the infamous 1693 earthquake that devastated southeastern Sicily. Upper Ragusa, or Ragusa Superiore, is the main part of the new city built on the ridge across from the old city of lbla after the earthquake. Due to the fact that upper Ragusa was built in the early 1700s, most of its churches and main buildings were thus constructed in the Baroque and Neo-Classical Styles. Most of the city's history deals with the old city of Ibla.
Secluded in this region, which is classified as a UNESCO protected site, you find the RELAIS PARCO CAVALONGA, one of the most charming accommodations in Ragusa Sicily..
