We had no accommodation in Noto, arrived at noon, then parked the car and made a big roundabout along the town. The main street of the town center dominated by Noto Cathedral is very stylish on both sides, especially the steps in front of the church are very spacious, and it is also a place where tourists like to sit. Compared with the cathedral, it is the city hall. These Baroque-style buildings look magnificent and have a super good visual sense. Noto Cathedral was damaged by the earthquake, but the whole town was rebuilt, so it felt particularly gorgeous.
Very beautiful church ⛪️ worth a visit
The largest church in the area, the visit is not a holiday, so it is almost empty, only tourists walk inside. Tourists do not take pictures under the warning of the tour guide, not loudly. It's over after a walk.
Built in 1694 and completed in 1703, it was a baroque church building that was later destroyed in an earthquake. It was reconstructed in the eighteenth century using the same materials and techniques. The cathedral is golden in the sun. Directly opposite is the town hall (you can visit by buying tickets)
