The square of Palazzolo is the baroque square par excellence which led to the attribution of the title of UNESCO Heritage. The church was built after the devastating Noto earthquake with a new style that was in vogue in the 1600s. Baroque indeed. The church is stupendous, towering above the square, full of solemnity and sacredness like few others.

The square with the church, pure baroque, typical of the whole area, is very beautiful.

In the heart of the majestic Iblei mountains, in the hinterland of the province of Syracuse, stands Palazzolo Acreide, a picturesque town that presents itself as a true treasure chest to be discovered. It is a place of cultural crossroads, where the past intertwines with the present, creating a unique and fascinating urban structure. This city boasts recognition as a UNESCO heritage site. Here, antiquity blends harmoniously with modern architecture, offering an extraordinary experience. Three main places outline the identity of Palazzolo Acreide: the ancient Greek settlement of Akrai, located in the upper part of the city, with its well-preserved remains and a Greek theater that still shines in its grandeur; the suggestive medieval centre, dominated by the mighty castle; and the upper district, skillfully rebuilt after the devastating earthquake of 1693, with its baroque churches and elegant noble palaces.

Sortino (in dialect: 'Sciurtinu' or 'Xutino') is a municipality in the free municipal consortium of Syracuse. The town is located in the Iblei mountains, near the rock necropolis of Pantalica and the Anapo river. The beekeeping tradition of Sortino is so deep-rooted that there is a house museum of traditional beekeeping, which shows the ancient honey production techniques through various historical objects.

It is a wonderful village, a UNESCO heritage site.

The remains of the railway tollbooth now in ruins.

Palazzolo Acréide is a very pleasant place with an important cultural attraction. It owes its popularity to the archaeological site of Akrai, but also to its beautiful view of the Anapo valley and its pleasant city center.
