Casa Sipione Papa

Casa Sipione Papa (19th century) is located in the heart of the County of Modica, a few meters from the Mother Church of San Giorgio and the ancient Castello dei Conti. The residence overlooks the current Corso Crispi and the small church of San Michele, today of the Federician Knights Templar. The frescoed vaults, the majolica floors and the ancient 19th century cement tiles become part of a decorative style of austere noble elegance, combined with a feeling of welcoming liveability, between Baroque and Belle Époque. From the balconies it is a dive into the heart of the centuries past, with the Bell Tower of San Michele which dominates the view and the street of the same name which leads into the side square of the majestic San Giorgio, whose magnificent baroque façade opens with the stupendous staircase onto the main street of the city. From the main balcony of the house, as if from a living room, you can admire the enchanting panorama of the places where some unforgettable sequences of the famous television Montalbano were filmed.
