Noto is the most spectacular of all Baroque towns in Sicily. Apart from the wonderful pale golden-yellow stone used for the buildings, the town is remarkable for its planning and its theatrical views and perspectives. Many of the finest churches in Noto are placed in strategic spots. There is homogeneity and coherence. Both in style and in civil and ecclesiastical architecture.
