<\/span><\/h2>\n15km before Noto, we turn off in the direction of Noto Antica. These are the remains of the old town of Noto, which was destroyed by a severe earthquake around 1700. Afterwards, the new town of Noto was built closer to the coast in the Baroque style. This is why there are so many magnificent palaces in Noto.<\/p>\n
On the way, we drive past a beautiful lost place, of which there are many here in Sicily. Our hearts always bleed when I see these big, beautiful old buildings falling into ruin.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then we come to a very large picnic area with everything your heart desires: water points, barbecue areas, tables and benches. There are even garbage cans here, which are emptied regularly.<\/p>\n
Now we are standing in front of the old city gate of Noto Antica.\u00a0If we hadn't just hiked yesterday, we would do it again right here. There are not only the ruins of ancient Noto to see, but also an impressive gorge\u00a0Cava Carosello\u00a0<\/span>with a river. There are also a few interesting caves, necropolis, on the edge of the gorge.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=“1_3,1_3,1_3″ _builder_version=“4.5.1″ _module_preset=“default“][et_pb_column type=“1_3″ _builder_version=“4.5.1″ _module_preset=“default“][et_pb_image src=“https:\/\/www.planbwagen.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_3208-1-768×1024.jpg“ alt=“Santuario Santa Maria Scala del Paradiso auf Sizilien“ title_text=“IMG_3208″ _builder_version=“4.5.1″ _module_preset=“default“][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=“1_3″ _builder_version=“4.5.1″ _module_preset=“default“][et_pb_image src=“https:\/\/www.planbwagen.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_3210-768×1024.jpg“ alt=“Das Santuario Santa Maria Scala del Paradiso“ title_text=“IMG_3210″ _builder_version=“4.5.1″ _module_preset=“default“][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=“1_3″ _builder_version=“4.5.1″ _module_preset=“default“][et_pb_image src=“https:\/\/www.planbwagen.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_3209-768×1024.jpg“ alt=“Santuario Santa Maria Scala del Paradiso“ title_text=“IMG_3209″ _builder_version=“4.5.1″ _module_preset=“default“][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=“4.5.1″ _module_preset=“default“][et_pb_column type=“4_4″ _builder_version=“4.5.1″ _module_preset=“default“][et_pb_text _builder_version=“4.5.1″ _module_preset=“default“]<\/p>\n
<\/span>Santuario Santa Maria Scala del Paradiso<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\nWe continue along the gorge towards Noto. The road is good, but very narrow. No two vehicles can pass each other here. We are lucky and nobody comes towards us. Now we come to a small bridge that is limited to 3 tons. It didn't hold it against us that we were a few grams heavier.<\/p>\n
After about 3 km, a beautiful baroque building appears out of nowhere in front of us, Santuario Santa Maria Scala del Paradiso. My heart sinks. This pilgrimage church is simply beautiful. That's exactly what our trip is all about.<\/p>\n

<\/span>The old town of Noto<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\nWe continue to Noto. We park on the avenue in front of the Porta Reale o Ferdinandea. From here, we stroll along Corso Vittorio Emanuele through the historic town center. And see beautiful large Baroque buildings: the church of San Francesco D'Assisi all'Immacolata with its impressive open staircase, the church of S.S. Salvatore, the cathedral of San Nicol\u00f3 and opposite Palazzo Ducezio, the seat of the town hall.<\/p>\n

I will spare you a detailed description of these baroque buildings. The pictures speak for themselves. We were particularly impressed by the bronze sculptures by Mitoraj, whom we already know and appreciate from many other vacations in Italy.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Sculptures by Mitoraj<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\nIgor Mitoraj (1944-2014) was a Polish sculptor who lived in France and Italy. His often larger-than-life sculptures can be found in Paris, Rome, Milan, Lausanne, London, Krakow, Scheveningen, The Hague and even in the USA and Japan.<\/p>\n
The special thing about it is that the sculptures touch both our souls. People don't always agree about art. These huge works of art are simply fabulous. What makes them so special are the many small details that you only discover at second glance. I've often wondered whether I should explore where his works of art are all over the world. And whether I would go there. But the moment of surprise is overwhelming every time. We saw the last sculpture in Pisa in 2020 in front of the Leaning Tower.<\/p>\n

Then we are drawn back to the sea and head towards Vendicari<\/p>\n
