Modica Historic Center
Highlight • Historical Site
The city was founded by the Sicilians with the name of Motyka and was inhabited in later times by Greeks and Romans, but there are hardly any noteworthy traces of their presence. The Arabs conquered the city in 845 and named it Mohac. In the 11th century the Normans, led by Ruggero I, conquered the city.
Modica, like other towns in the Val di Noto, was destroyed by the serious earthquake of 9 January 1693 which caused the death of 60,000 people in Sicily. Rebuilt in Sicilian Baroque style, Modica, despite two floods in 1833 and 1902, is today a quiet regional center with one of the most beautiful Sicilian Baroque urban landscapes.

Scicli
Highlight • Settlement
The place was founded by the Sikelers. In the Middle Ages it came under Arab rule until it developed into a royal city under the Normans. Under Frederick II the town was owned by the Counts of Modica. In 1693 the town was destroyed by an earthquake, as was the entire Val di Noto. It was then rebuilt in the Sicilian Baroque style.
