- Busker999Tonbridge, UK963 contributionsMake sure you go to the car park at the far end, it makes more sense with more stalls there. It's a fantastic site with a low cost. The most complete Greek temple is really good. However all the Temples are very good. Decent Cafes on the route too.Written November 10, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

Make sure you visit at sunset, it makes it look golden. They had a recent fire in the area, so the surroundings are not pleasant. If you don’t know your history and archeology, hire a guide to tell you all about it, but be careful: a lot of them speak very poor English. Time for the visit of the temple itself: half an hour, but transportation to there is another story.

Nice interie. Free entrance, openings 8.00-12:00 and 16:00-19:00. Justt next to the entrance to the cathedral on the right side, underneath of the floor yo can find Terme Achilliane (bath) signafitian buildingof the Roman Imperial period.Written October 31, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Outofdodge_10Santa Fe, NM1,351 contributionsBuilt in the 1700's, the Cathedral of st. Nicholas is an excellent example of Noto's baroque buildings. The facade is a gorgeous limestone that is seen throughout the area and mainland Italy. Several artists, including Bruno d’Arcevia, were commissioned for several artworks including sculptures and frescoes on the Dome. The Dome itself is neoclassical due to reconstruction after a collapse. The exterior is certainly the standout, but it's worth a look inside.Written October 7, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Matt HLondon, UK51 contributionsBeautiful church and really interesting to see the monastery and how the nuns lived up until 2014
The cost of entry is a little steep compared to others in the city, but we went to many churches and this was our favourite and worth the visit.. To top it off you get fantastic view from the roof top of the whole city a chance to relax in the courtyard and buy the most delicious cannoli everWritten October 10, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The cathedral appears in the opening credits of the Italian TV series Inspector Montalbano, and it also features in some episodes, as does the similarly named cathedral of Modica. I am a fan of Inspector Montalbano, so it was nice to visit his ”church”. Before the earthquake of 1693, the Church of San Giorgio stood in the eastern part of Ragusa Ibla, near the Hyblean Garden. Today, the only thing left from the ancient church, demolished in 1718, is the Portal of San Giorgio.After the earthquake of 1693, which destroyed almost entirely the historical center of the town, it was decided to built a new church dedicated to Saint George on the place of the ancient Church of San Nicola.However, the building of Ragusa Superiore – the modern part of the city, developed faster, and the Cathedral of San Giovanni Battista, erected in 1694, became the main Catholic church of Ragusa, to the discontent of the inhabitants of Ragusa Ibla.Written June 6, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- FrancescaPalermo, Italy59 contributionsIncredible ride up Mount Pelligrino on the 812 bus next to the Politeama Theatre. Be careful on the way back; they take a different route. Go to the shrine in the late afternoon. There is no one there.Written November 8, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Michaela K2,226 contributionsWent into the church, it looked beautiful from the inside and we also went to the top.
The view was stunning and definitely worth it. It cost 10€ to see everythingWritten May 7, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Apparently this chapel was not used to serve mass, but as a place for discussion and speeches.Written June 15, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- LongChinNewcastle, Australia375 contributionsWorth seeing to wonder at the money this must have cost at the time. And the puzzle of what they do with the income from the entrance fees because it doesn’t go to upkeep.Written July 16, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- md1mmSheffield, UK1,587 contributionsThis is a huge church which I found more interesting to visit than the Palermo Cathedral. It is beautiful inside and contains the burial site of Giovanni Falcone, the Italian judge assassinated by the mafia.Written September 13, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Big_Jeff_LeoSt Helens, UK21,978 contributionsThis temple is only partially surviving but this does not detract from its present. It can be enjoyed from multiple angles and photo opportunities. The most interesting aspect for me was in its restoration and the story around one mans dedication to that end.Written June 27, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Alison Ecamberley, United Kingdom77 contributionsA pretty little church up loads to steps, but so worth the view. You can’t go all the way up to the castle but the view from the little church is amazingWritten July 14, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Outofdodge_10Santa Fe, NM1,351 contributionsI really loved the worn look of Chiesa di San Nicolo All'Arena and it's doubtful the facade will ever be completed. It was built in the late 1600's and, as with many buildings in Sicily, took a hit from an earthquake. It was reconstructed in 1735. There is an adjoining Benedictine Monastery (Monastery di San Nicolò l'Arena) that holds the title of the second largest monastery in Europe. The interior includes a sundial and organ. I especially enjoyed the wide columns. And climb to the top so you have a panoramic view.Written October 28, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
