Santa Maria delle Scale

Ragusa, Italy

Santa Maria delle Scale was built by the Cistercian monks of the Abbey of Santa Maria di Roccadia in Lentini, in the first half of the 13th century, in a Gothic style. In the second half of the 18th century, because of the increase of the population, the building was enlarged and largely rebuilt in a Baroque style.

As with everything in Ragusa an extraordinary example of the Baroque era. There is a reason for the UNESCO designation of this most extraordinary city.

Lovely spot to sit and relax while overlooking the town. We missed the timing to go inside, but had a really lovely time sitting and taking in the spectacular view. Worth every step up the stairs.
