Overview
You will start the tour from Syracuse and head towards Ragusa Ibla. Once in the heart of the Ragusan town, you will visit the places that served as the backdrop for the fiction, such as: the Giardino Ibleo, the square of Vigata and the characteristic Cathedral of San Giorgio.
Leaving Ragusa Ibla, immersed in a vast expanse full of carob and olive trees, you will see the Castle of Donnafugata: from its terrace you will enjoy a breathtaking view and the different scenes from the fiction can only resurface in your mind.
Once in Punta Secca, you will admire Montalbano's house, after a walk along the seafront, you will also have some free time to taste the typical products of this area.
Before returning to Syracuse, Scicli will be waiting for you, a real jewel of Sicilian Baroque art. Between the visit to the Palazzo del Municipio (the room of the Quaestor of Montelusa) and the one to Palazzo Iacono (the Police Headquarters of Montelusa) you cannot help but imagine yourself inside the fiction.
