We take you on board the gig to see the most beautiful views of the "Stone Garden"! In the morning with the blinding light of the sun that makes everything very white, creating an incredible brightness, at sunset everything turns orange, the sunset makes the whole landscape unique, and the play of light becomes the creation of new and always different forms.
The tour requires that near the Cathedral you can get out of the vehicle to take pictures and spend a few minutes listening to the explanation provided in the audio guide.
Built between 1704 and 1745 on the initiative of the superior Fr. Filippo Tortora and designed by the architects Vincenzo Sinatra and Rosario Gagliardi, the church of S. Francesco with the adjoining former convent of the Friars Minor conventual (mostly university) is among the most impressive religious buildings in Noto. In the harmonious façade, projecting on an imposing staircase with three ramps (one of which was added in the early 1800s, after the lowering of the road surface), the beautiful portal stands out flanked by artistic baroque columns and three niches, two of which sides and a smaller one above the portal.
