Ancient building in the historic center of Modica

Description

In the distinctive "County of Modica", beneath the clock of the Counts' castle and situated behind the splendid Cathedral of San Pietro, stands this historic 19th-century building. Nestled in the heart of Modica, amidst the charming stone alleys of the center, the property boasts an independent entrance, spans multiple levels, and encompasses approximately 800 square meters. It is arranged around a central courtyard and comprises five adjoining real estate units, totaling 24 rooms. The ground floor features spacious "dammusi" adorned with characteristic cane and plaster vaults, along with stone arches. A stone staircase from the main entrance opens to an internal courtyard, leading to the first floor. Here, halls with lofty frescoed vaults, period-typical cement-tiled floors, a kitchen with a stone oven, and an evocative cave once used for storing agricultural products and preserves can be found. Completing the property is a panoramic second floor, providing breathtaking views of the city's beauty. The building showcases architectural fin de siecle elements and at the same time reflecting the Baroque style of the Val di Noto. It is situated in the oldest historical sector of Modica, approximately 120 km from Catania airport.
