Archaeological visit by the Archeoclub of Ragusa, carried out in a day with its Members; in the morning we visit San Marco d'Alunzio, counted among the most beautiful towns in Italy and an ancient village of Greek origin, 4th century BC; we visit the temple of Heracles - the Church of the Madonna delle Grazie of the Filangeri Princes with two ancient sarcophagi and a statue by Gagini inside - the Mother Church - the Church of S. Maria dell'Ara Coeli - the Museum of Norman and Byzantine art with interesting finds. We then continue to the little village of Mirto; lunch is at the Trattoria "da Tonino" on via nazionale, recommendable from every point of view: taste, goodness, kindness, value. In the afternoon we visit the village and an incredible museum with ancient Sicilian aristocratic clothes from the 1700s up to the thirties, not to be missed.

The cost for the whole day, all included, departing from Ragusa was 50 euros. ENZO PIAZZESE - TOURIST GUIDE IN SICILY - 348.2229891
