Scicli in the Hills

Scicli is just 20min up the hill from the cooking school.
We just can't seam to keep away from these ancient little towns on the hill, and this one is also built into the hills.


 
All rebuilt after the 1693 earth quake
 

 
 The painting in the church are so ancient and signs of wear as they hang over the centuries ... but how do you repair so many amazing works of art in little towns.
 



The gargoyles are so ugly but so cute also

    Hope that you had a lovely birthday Pete.

  2. I agree with Lindsay. Just amazing what there is to see, and not all in the big centres. Just incredible!
