Casa "ANITA" renovated Jewel in Modica Alta

Located on Corso Garibaldi just before the Duomo di San Giorgio, this property enjoys a very private location that is still close to the center of Modica Alta, easily reachable on foot. Modica, like other historic centers in the Val di Noto, owes its particular urban layout to the unusual shape of the land combined with various phenomena of human settlement. Many houses in the old part of the city, leaning against one another, are often extensions of ancient caves inhabited since prehistoric times. Around 700 caves have been recorded that were once inhabited or otherwise used, between those visible and those "incorporated" into new buildings. Of significant historical importance is the excellent state of preservation, right in the historic center, of the Quartiriccio necropolis in the Vignazza district, featuring dozens of oven-shaped tombs carved into the rock dating back to 2200 BC. Modica, along with Ragusa, Scicli, and Noto, has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site
