The late baroque towns of the Val di Noto form a group of towns in the Val di Noto in southeastern Sicily that form a uniform ensemble of the late baroque . These include the cities of Catania , Caltagirone , Militello in Val di Catania , Modica , Noto , Palazzolo Acreide , Ragusa and Scicli .
These places were almost completely destroyed by the earthquake in Val di Noto in 1693 . As they were rebuilt at the same time, they offer a comprehensive example of the Sicilian Baroque and have a largely uniform urban and architectural character.
Because of this special architecture, UNESCO declared the late baroque cities of Val di Noto a World Heritage Site in 2002 on the grounds that
“That this group of cities in south-east Sicily is an outstanding testimony to the exuberant genius of late Baroque art and architecture. The cities of the Val di Noto represent the high point and the last heyday of Baroque art in Europe. The exceptional quality of the late Baroque art and architecture in the Val di Noto lies in their geographical and chronological homogeneity as well as in their extent, which is a result of the earthquake of 1693 is in this region. The eight cities in south-east Sicily, which are characteristic of the settlement pattern and urban form of this region, are constantly threatened by earthquakes and eruptions from Mount Etna. "
