Un giorno Dio decise di fare un regalo alla terra! Esso si tolse un diamante dalla Sua corona e lo gettó in mezzo al Mare Mediterraneo dandogli il nome di SICILIA! Modica Modica (Sicilian: Muòrica) is a city and comune in the Province of Ragusa, Sicily, southern Italy. The city is situated in the Hyblaean Mountains and, along with Val di Noto, is part of UNESCO Heritage Sites in Italy. Modica is an elegant town with probably the best baroque church of the valley. According to Thucydides, the city was founded in 1360 BC or 1031 BC and was inhabited by the Sicels in the 7th century BC. It was probably a dependency of Syracuse. The southeast of Sicily and Modica was rapidly Christianized, as the diocese of Syracuse boasts an apostolic foundation by St. Paul in 61 AD Modica (Muòricaîn dialect sicilian) este un oraş în provincia Ragusa în Sicilia. Situat la poalele Munţilor Iblei, la o altitudine de 296 metri, face parte dintre oraşele Patrimoniului Mondial UNESCO din Val di Noto. Modica este un oraş elegant şi are probabil cele mai frumoase biserici din zonă. Conform celor scrise de Tucidide oraşul a fost fondat în anul 1360 sau 1031 î.Hr., în secolul VII fiind locuit de siculi şi probabil era vasal Siracuzei. Sudestul Siciliei şi Modica au fost creştinate devreme astfel că Siracuza se făleşte cu faptul că eparhia sa a fost fondată chiar de Apostolul Pavel în anul 61.
Modica UNESCO World Heritage Site, representing "the final flowering of baroque art in Europe.”
The town consists of a lower part (ModicaBassa) and a higher, more ancient part, Modica Alta, connected by numerous flights of steps. Modica este formată din două părţi: Modica de Sus (partea cea mai veche a oraşului) şi Modica de Jos, legate prin nenumărate pante cu scări
VIADOTTO GUERRIERI OR MODICA VIADUCT
550 m long viaduct that connects the two neighborhoods on the hills of Modica, the district Deaf and the fourth tooth. Until a few years ago held the record for highest bridge in Europe with its 137 m and is definitely one of the most strategic for those who want to admire the beauty of the city that seems almost a stone river, which flows along the valley. One of Italy’s earliest and highest viaducts, the viadottoGuerrieri or Modica viaduct was completed in 1968 with a parade of 120 meter tall, 37 meter span closely spaced piers connected by simple, prestressed concrete deck spans. ViaductulGuerrieri de la Modica face legătura între două cartiere situate pe dealurile oraşului, şi era până acum câţiva ani cel mai lung pod din Europa
Modica The Late Baroque Towns of the Val diNoto(South-eastern Sicily) are eight towns are examples of ‘anti-seismic’ urban planning executed in the late Baroque style.The valley owes its place on the World Heritage List to a tragic event in its history. On January the 9th 1693, a major earthquake struck this part of the world. Ten thousands of people died, and cities and towns were (partly) destructed Sub denumirea Orașele barocului târziu din Val di Noto sunt înscrise pe lista patrimoniului mondial UNESCO opt orașe din sud-estul Siciliei care au fost reconstruite după cutremurul din anul 1693 în stil predominant baroc. Dintre aceste opt oraşe face parte şi Modica
Modica, like the other towns in the Val diNoto, was badly damaged in the 1693 earthquake and largely rebuilt in Sicilian Baroque style. Modica is the town of the 100 churches and it's renowned for its southern position and the Baroque style and architecture. Asemeni celorlalte oraşe din Val di Noto Modica a avut mult de suferit în urma cutremurului din 1693 şi oraşul a fost reconstruit în stil Baroc Sicilian. Supranumit oraşul cu o sută de biserici este renumit pentru aşezarea sa sudică şi pentru frumuseţea stilului baroc.
The construction of the church dedicated to San Pietro in ModicaBassa dates back to the years 1350-1360. It was destroyed by the earthquake in 1613 and reconstructed soon afterwards; but was demolished once again by the earthquake in 1693 and was finally rebuilt during the beginning of XVIII century. Construirea bisericii dedicate Apostolului Petru în Modica de Jos datează din anii 1350 -1360. Biserica a fost distrusă de cutremurul din anul 1613 şi reconstruită curând după acesta, dar a fost dărâmată încă odată la cutremurul din anul 1693 şi apoi reconstruită la începutul secolului XVIII
