Ragusa, in brief.

Baroque Ragusa Ibla, blue-domed San Giorgio, Montalbano.

A Baroque city in the southeast, split between an upper town and Ragusa Ibla, the older quarter rebuilt within its tangled medieval plan.

Its blue-domed church of San Giorgio crowns a flight of steps, and the lanes serve as a film set for Montalbano.
