Virtual Ragusa, Sicily
Built on the top of a hill between two deep valleys, to fend off outside invaders, the city of Ragusa. The city itself divided into two sections. Upper Ragusa and the older town of Lower Ragusa.
Upper Ragusa is known for The Ragusa Cathedral dedicated to John the Baptist.

Lower Ragusa is home to several cathedrals as well. One interestingly named
Church of the Souls of Purgatory
There are a number of these skulls with assorted hats and such decorating the outside.

Ragusa also is home to the Hyblean Gardens with a perfect view of the Hyblean Mountains.
Unfortunately...no video available.
A charming (but very small) Sicilian town just outside of Noto.
