PRIVATE PALAIS
Private palaces with majestic balconies, courtyards and monumental stairways.
The Place du Dôme, planted with palm trees, slopes gently down, framed by noble palaces and houses whose façades can only be seen, they are private properties closed to the public. Behind these heavy doors hide monumental courtyards and staircases. The most prestigious palace is the neoclassical palace of Donna Fugata, which is said to house paintings by Caravaggio. Palazzo Arezzi has an arched façade topped by a majestic balcony. Take a look at the picturesque Circolo de Conversazione, built at the beginning of the 19th century by the Ragusan nobles.

The few rays of the sun clearing a passage through a crown of palm trees offer an imposing show.
Moreover if you like traditional pottery, jewellery, many stalls are ready to welcome you.
Les personnages sculptés dessous les balcons sont amusants.
A l'intérieur la pierre noire marbrée de marron contraste avec le blanc des murs.
