It is called the "city of bridges", due to the presence of three very picturesque structures of historical value. In 1693, a devastating earthquake caused the almost total destruction of the entire city, claiming more than five thousand victims. The reconstruction, which took place in the 18th century, divided it into two large districts: on the one hand, Upper Ragusa, located on the plateau, and on the other, Ragusa Ibla, which arose from the ruins of the ancient city and was rebuilt according to the ancient medieval layout. The architectural masterpieces built after the earthquake, together with all those present in the Val di Noto, were declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2002. Ragusa is one of the most important places for the presence of Baroque art, such as its churches and its eighteenth-century palaces. The city, which extends over the southern part of the Iblei mountains, is the southernmost provincial capital of Italy, is the third Sicilian municipality in terms of area and the eleventh in terms of altitude[11] and is on average 20 km from the sea. The highest peak is Mount Arcibessi (906 m above sea level), which is why it is among the municipalities lapped by the sea that have the highest difference in altitude. The oldest district of the city, Ragusa Ibla, is located on a hill. To the east, the city is surrounded by the San Cono hill, and in the middle flows the Irminio river, one of the most important in southeastern Sicily. To the north, the city is bordered by the Cava del torrente San Leonardo and Mount Patro. To the south is Mount Bollarito, which is divided from Ragusa by the Fiumicello stream. Finally, to the west is Upper Ragusa on the Patro and Cucinello hills, the most recent part of the city instead on the Corrado, Pendente and Selvaggio hills, the first two detached from the surrounding hills by two deep gorges, the typical "caves" of the Hyblaean plateau, the Cava Gonfalone and the Cava Santa Domenica. The city develops to the west until it reaches the plateau (680 m above sea level). In the past, the entire territory of Ragusa was covered by dense Mediterranean vegetation consisting mainly of oaks and laurels. The deforestation perpetrated over the centuries, starting with the massive deforestation carried out by the Romans, in order to allocate the land to the cultivation of cereals and sheep farming, has largely contributed to the decrease in water resources, which in any case in the entire province are higher than those of other Sicilian provinces. The Irminio River, once navigable, as can be seen from ancient Arab documents, is blocked by a dam; this has given rise to an artificial lake: Lake Santa Rosalia, which is located halfway between Ragusa and Giarratana. On the Ibleo territory, the flora includes over 1500 taxa, mostly belonging to the circum-Mediterranean element. The extra-municipal territory, almost entirely, insists on the last strips of the Iblei Mountains that gently slide towards the Mediterranean Sea, a plateau characterized by huge cultivated expanses, an interrupted network of dry stone walls dotted with carob and olive trees. The reliefs, once degraded to sea level, give way to the coast on which the municipal territory overlooks for about 15 km. The Ragusa coast consists of both wide sandy stretches and stretches of outcropping rock. Hyblean landscape and Lake Santa Rosalia In the last two million years, after the marine regression that in the Miocene had allowed the emergence of the Hyblaean Mountains and the entire seabed that goes up to the islands of the Maltese archipelago, the opposite movement, in the Pliocene immersed the lower lands and the orogenic events caused by the underwater volcanic activity composed the Ragusan plateau. The territory is mainly hilly, formed by large plateaus and valleys and the flow of rivers has eroded the plateau forming numerous deep canyons. The Hyblaean plateau constitutes one of the promontories of the African plate and consists of a continental crust mostly of carbonate and carbonate-marl sediments of the Cretaceous-Quaternary age in which basic volcanites are interspersed, and karst is also widespread. In the coastal areas, near the sea, there is sandstone. Some areas of the Hyblaean Mountains also have rocks of volcanic origin, such as near Monte Lauro, which is part of an underwater volcanic complex. The limestone that abounds throughout the territory is used for the dry stone walls that delimit the enclosures and characterize the landscape. Ragusa enjoys a hilly Mediterranean climate: its altitude in fact determines colder average temperatures than those of the Sicilian coast. Snowfall is rare in the lower areas of the city such as Ibla; however, it occurs more frequently in the higher areas, located on the plateau, which have a mountainous Mediterranean climate. Winter is very rainy: rainfall is abundant from October to March. Together with Messina, Ragusa is one of the rainiest provincial capitals, with an annual average of about 700 mm per year. On the other hand, the amount of rain that falls on the high areas of the Iblei mountains is greater, where it can exceed 1000 mm per year. The greatest rainfall occurs, in addition to during intense stormy phases typical of autumn, during the most persistent winter rises, which can easily bring quantities even around 200 mm in a day on all the Iblei, with the exception of the Vittoriese lowland which is disadvantaged if eastern winds blow. There is a ten-year oscillation between 650 mm and 1,481 mm overall. Registration Details IT088009C2E374LMY4
