Noto

Today we toured Noto which is a city famous for its Baroque architecture. As usual there was so much to see and I took many photos.

Noto Cathedral

Noto Town Hall

The cathedral is undergoing an interior facelift and there were scaffolds everywhere, but here is an inside photo.

There are 34 Catholic churches in this city of about 24,000 people. There were 3 big churches on the first two blocks we walked.

Church of San Domenico

Noto Cathedral 

We went to one church that charged 2€ to go up to the bell tower.

The steps were very narrow and windy.  Roma got partway up and was dizzy so went back down.  I was tempted to pull the rope and ring the bell, but I behaved.  It was well worth the climb as I could see miles in all directions.

It was a beautiful day with temps in low 20's.  The locals were still in parkas.  When we arrived home I changed into capris and sandals for my walk and was still hot!
