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. Criterion 1) This group of towns in south-eastern Sicily provides outstanding testimony to the exuberant genius of late Baroque art and architecture. Criterion 2) The towns of the Val di Noto represent the culmination and final flowering of Baroque art in Europe. Criterion 4) The exceptional quality of the late Baroque art and architecture in the Val di Noto lies in its geographical and chronological homogeneity, as well as its quantity, the result of the 1693 earthquake in this region. Criterion 5) The eight towns of south-eastern Sicily that make up this nomination, which are characteristic of the settlement pattern and urban form of this region, are permanently at risk from earthquakes and eruptions of Mount Etna.

Saint Patrick's Cathedral is based on the cathedrals of Amiens and Cologne, which you can see in the front, with the towers and the gable

I didn't saw the church 5 years ago when I was 10 and we went to New York, but next time all visit the church

There's also a less beautiful Saint Patrick's Old Cathedral a few blocks away from this one
