An important Sicilian, Roman, Byzantine and then Arab center, it was destroyed in full splendor by the 1693 earthquake, but thanks to the skilful reconstruction, Noto has become a magnificent city of art, a UNESCO heritage together with Caltagirone, Militello, Catania, Modica , Palazzolo, Ragusa and Scicli.
