Sunset Walk beneath the Iblei Bridges
May 20, 2017
A walk open to everyone in the heart of vibrant Ragusa, enjoying a wonderful moment as we welcome the upcoming summer season in a setting that feels like a step back in time…..
The city is perched on a limestone cliff between two deep valleys: the Cava di San Leonardo and the Cava di Santa Domenica, divided into two distinct areas: Ragusa Inferiore (the ancient Ibla) and Ragusa Superiore. We will descend along the Cava Santa Domenica, the true green lung of Ragusa, and our visit will touch upon some of the most evocative corners of the valley; stone quarries, lime kilns, and more..... all telling stories of ancient conquests and old trades. We will observe the city as it is transformed by the changing light and colors at dusk in our beautiful Ibla.
