The Local Area

Gagliardi Hotel is situated in the centre of the city of Noto, 36km south west of Syracuse in the south east of Sicily. Noto is famous for its baroque architecture including the reconstructed 18^th century cathedral which is opposite Palazzo Ducezio (now the town hall) with the Hall of Mirrors embellished by gilding and stuccos and Palazzo Nicolaci with richly decorated balconies and the 19^th century Porta Reale resembling a triumphal arch which marks the entrance to the city.

Part of the Val di Noto UNESCO World Heritage Site in south east Sicily, the city of Noto is situated on two levels, an upper part on the plateau and a lower, newer part, on the slope below built up following the 17^th century earthquake. The latter includes palazzi of the nobility and 18^th century churches, the architecture combining to create a spectacular 'Baroque stage set'. 

The historical sites scattered across the town include the Church of San Francesco, Museo Civico and Piazza XVI Maggio. As well as numerous shops, bars and restaurants, Noto is also home to one of the most visually striking festivals on the island held during the 3^rd weekend of May when Via Nicolaci is transformed into a piece of artwork with 16 artists lining the street with their own exquisite petal designs.
