Noto very certainly has more churches than bars; maybe even pizzerias |
All of them Baroque |
Helpful model of the cathedral |
If it ain't Baroque... |
National emblem: Sicily is a triangle with three points; sort of |
This what it's all about: the Corrado Nicolaci paved in floral mosaics; the wait to enter line was about 30 minutes; we decided to see it next morning |
Another church; might have been the cathedral; Baroques all look alike to me; this one is notable for our having FaceTimed with Rebecca and Penelope from the nave |
Another Sicilian icon; sort of a Pedro y Inez thing, I gather |
Floral mosaics notwithstanding, Noto has some other beautiful displays |
Aromatic too |
Us at the top of the Corrado Nicolaci |
Looking back |
They do other staircases too, though not in floral mosaic |
With helpful illustrations |
Looking at floral mosaics makes you really hungry, so we stopped for dinner; above, a shared bruschetta; her calzone was not photogenic |
But my grilled seafood was; except I don't think I want to know what the thing on the right was |
Walking back through the food market, we stopped and bought some pistachio brittle; yum |
