2 Best Sights in Noto, Sicily

Cattedrale di San Nicolò

Fodor's choice
Noto's domed cathedral (divine in more ways than one) is an undisputed highlight of the extraordinary Baroque architecture for which the town is world-famous. Climb the monumental staircase to get a glimpse of the interior—restored over a 10-year period after the dome collapsed in 1996—which is simple compared to the magnificent exterior, but still worth a look.

Palazzo Nicolaci di Villadorata

Set on a steep hill above the main Corso, the mythical monsters supporting the palaces magnificent balconies are one of the most iconic—and photographed—sights in Sicily. For a rare insight into the lifestyle of social climbers in the 18th century, it is well worth taking a tour of the interior to see some of 90 rooms belonging to the noble Nicolaci family, including a splendid frescoed ballroom.
