Weddings in Noto
Noto is a small jewel perched on an altiplano covered by orange trees:
the capital of the Sicilian baroque style. Built in the early 18th century
exploiting and enhancing the natural gradients of Mt Meti, it is an urban
center of endless charm and was proclaimed a world heritage site by UNESCO
in 2002; as such Noto weddings are an incredible opportunity to discover the
beauty and the warmth of Sicily.
Several Sicilian architects participated in its design and the work of
Paolo Labisi, Vincenzo Sinatra and Rosario Gagliardi created an incredibly
spectacular and harmonious urban complex, where majestic buildings in
local limestone, which over the years has developed a magnificent gilded
and pink patina, alternate with many churches in a decorative triumph of
friezes, capitals, volute, puttos and masks. Porta Reale, the church of San
Francesco all'lmmacolata, Palazzo Ducezio, the basilica of the SS. Salvatore
and the churchm of Santa Chiara are merely some of the attractions in a
town where there is a treasure around every corner.
Rising above the whole the Noto most famous monument:
the 18th century Cathedral (Cattedrale di San Nicolo), the facade of
which towers high on a majestic triple flight of steps.
the Cathedral has just been restored back to its original beauty after that
in March 1996 the cupola unfortunately collapsed, seriously damaging the
nave.
And just a few miles away the wonderful Sicilian ocean and in particular the
Natural Reserve of Vendicari: flamingos, cormorant, stork, and many others
birds find here their natural habit.
The beauty of this spot of Sicily will capture and enchant you and will make
your Big Day unique!
Weddings in Noto is the perfect choice for Architecture lovers and couples
that wish to discover Sicily.
