Of ancient origins, totally rebuilt in late Baroque style.

It can be said that it has two historic centers, Modica Bassa and Modica Alta, each with its own cathedral, respectively St. Peter and St. George. The churches to admire are many more, among all we mention St. Mary of Bethlehem, St. Nicholas Inferior, Saint Teresa, St. John's.

Its alleys and its stairs are the essence of its charm and you can not think of visiting this town while remaining on the main street.
