Scicli is a splendid city in the Val di Noto, cradle of the Baroque<\/strong> with marvellous palaces and monuments, and where a crystalline sea also shines a few steps away.<\/p>\n
The centre of Scicli is a succession of very characteristic streets that climb up rocky hills. The heart of Scicli is via Francesco Mormino Penna, where churches and baroque buildings follow one another and that make the city one of the most elegant in the world.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”5\/12″][vc_single_image image=”8707″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”7\/12″][vc_column_text]A few minutes\u2019 drive away is the 1,7 km long Sampieri beach<\/strong>, one of the most beautiful in the south-east of Sicily<\/strong>.
