"The eight towns in south-eastern Sicily: Caltagirone, Militello Val di
Catania, Catania, Modica, Noto, Palazzolo, Ragusa and Scicli, were all
rebuilt after 1693 on or beside towns existing at the time of the
earthquake which took place in that year. They represent a considerable
collective undertaking, successfully carried out at a high level of
architectural and artistic achievement. Keeping within the late Baroque
style of the day, they also depict distinctive innovations in town
planning and urban building." -http://whc.unesco.org
Another great multi-view postcard from Anita of Austria.
