Cripta di San Domenico

Making an appointment was a bit of a hassle, but definitely worth it. I have a lot of respect for the guide (I think it was Valerio), because you could just tell he had a lot of knowledge in this particular area. It was a very polite guy, and he was definitely passionate about the subject. The crypt was quite beautiful, and definitely worth it. Price was also very low, €5 for 2 people I believe. It’s such a good place because unlike the capuchin crypts in Palermo it’s not flooded with tourists, and hosted by an underpaid teenager who does not want to be there. Overall it was a beautiful experience and I hope they will soon have the funds to potentially uncover even more of the crypt, and restore the fresco. (I did not take any pictures out of respect, but for those wondering since there isn’t a lot of media of this crypt: the crypt consists of 2 rooms, the first being the room with the fresco’s and an altar, the second being the room with the human remains.)

Siamo arrivati a Modica avendo poco tempo per visitare la città. Abbiamo incontrato gli operatori dell'associazione che gestisce il sito che ci hanno dato alcune informazioni sulla città e fatto visitare in poco tempo questo luogo meraviglioso e particolare. Voto 10, grazie ragazzi!

Riaperta dopo tanti anni. Visitabile. Lo consiglio.

Chi si trova a Modica non può perdersi la visita a questa cripta gioiello tra i gioielli

Valerio ci ha spiegato in modo esauriente e appassionato il contesto e la storia della cripta, recentissimamente riaperta al pubblico. Molto interessante, la visita richiede poco tempo, viste le dimensioni dell’ambiente (circa 20 minuti) e la cifra richiesta a persona è di 2.50 euro. La raccomando.
