Ispica is an Italian commune in the free commune of Konsortium Ragusa in the autonomous region of Sicily with 16,334 inhabitants. The neighboring municipalities are Modica, Noto (SR), Pachino (SR), Pozzallo and Rosolini (SR). The area around Ispica was already inhabited by people in prehistoric times. This testifies inter alia. the Tomba del Principe in a Bronze Age necropolis in the Cava d’Ispica. In the Middle Ages there was a place that the Normans expanded. The city was destroyed by an earthquake in 1693 and rebuilt on the same site. Until 1935 the city was called Spaccaforno. Ispica, the old Hispicaefundus, is located on a hill. Approx. 170 m above sea level M. and 6 km from the sea. The city reveals a chess-shaped street structure from the 18th century. It is located next to an ancient fortress from the Middle Ages (now ruins). This was the center of the city, at the end of the "Cava di Ispica" until the earthquake of 1693. Life in this city was very intense during the Renaissance. The archaeological finds are evidence of a continuity of life from the Bronze Age. One of the most important tourist attractions is certainly the old town with its remarkable works in the Baroque and Liberty style, buildings by Gagliardi, Sinatra, Lanzerotti and Basile, as well as painters such as Sozzi, D Anna and Gianforma. One of the most beautiful churches is Santa Maria Maggiore (18th century) on the piazza of the same name, the facade of which is emphasized by a beautiful wrought-iron grille and with its simple shapes and is particularly elegant. In front of and around the basilica is the impressive Loggiato di Sinatra, an archway built in 1749 by the architect from Noto Vincenzo Sinatra, which is inspired by Bernini's model of St. Peter's Square in Rome. The archway is semicircular and includes three arcades in the middle and ten more on the sides, all in Rococo style. A total of 23 boxes, which until the end of the 19th century housed the exhibition stands for religious folk festivals and which were walled up and converted into business premises at the beginning of the 20th century.
