Ragusa is situated on a hilly chain, Monti Iblei, located in the southeastern part of Sicily, and is the southernmost provincial capital of Italy. The city's hilly geographical position results in a Mediterranean climate, but with lower average temperatures compared to other cities along the Sicilian coast.
It is a city that boasts two historic centers: Ragusa Superiore and Ragusa Ibla. It serves as the capital of a province rich in culture, with a highly significant artistic heritage preserved in the beautiful cities of Modica, Scicli, Comiso, and Santa Croce Kamerina.
The territory is illuminated by a light reminiscent of certain African or Oriental places, where countryside and sea, dry stone walls and beaches, and the intricate development of balconies and palaces embrace each other. It is a land rich in culture and history, finding expressions of singular beauty in Modica, Scicli, and Ragusa Ibla, which have been included in the UNESCO World Heritage list.
The landscape, tradition, sea, and history make it a sought-after study itinerary for lovers of art, relaxation, fun, and cuisine, as well as for the presence of environmental and scenic emergencies with unique environments that arouse scientific interest.
