“Modica is ‘a town shaped like a split pomegranate; near the sea yet rural; half perched on a rocky spur, half scattered at its feet; linked by many staircases acting as peacemakers, and clouds in the sky from one bell tower to another.’”
This is how writer Gesualdo Bufalino described Modica in Argo il cieco, captivated by its narrow alleys and the panoramic staircases connecting the upper and lower parts of the city, recalling a happy summer.
Modica stretches across the Monti Iblei, 15 km south of Ragusa, nestled among rocky gorges that offer unique views of south-eastern Sicily.
According to legend, Modica was founded by Hercules, grateful to Motia for helping him recover the red oxen stolen by the giant Geryon. From here, Mozia near Marsala, Mozia near Agrigento, and the “Mediterranean Mozia”—Modica—were born.
