Noto's Baroque corso at sunset

DoSicilyCorso Vittorio Emanuele · Noto
Hala says
Noto's main street is really two, running parallel along the Baroque axis, with the cathedral, half a dozen palazzi, and three churches lined up like a stage set. The honey-coloured limestone the whole town is built from glows orange at sunset, the right hour for a passeggiata and a granita. The cathedral collapsed in 1996 and reopened in 2007; the interior is sparser than the exterior promises, but the climb up the bell tower is the photograph.
