Museo del Duomo di San Giorgio
About This Museum
You'd never guess this incredible collection was almost lost forever when the original cathedral collapsed in the 1693 earthquake. Tucked away on the Salita Duomo, the museum feels like a treasure chest for the magnificent church next door. Inside, you're surrounded by the sacred art and precious objects that have defined faith in Ragusa for centuries. It’s a quiet, intimate space where you can get up close to stunning silverwork and fragile textiles that tell a much deeper story than any grand cathedral could on its own.
Collection Highlights
Look for the breathtaking processional ferculum, a massive silver carriage used for saints' relics, and don't miss the delicate 18th-century embroidered vestments worn by bishops long ago.
Visitor Information
It's right there on the cathedral steps in Ragusa Ibla, so it's easy to pop in after you've seen the main church. Just check their hours online as they can be seasonal.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a historic building that blends right into the beautiful Baroque fabric of Ragusa Ibla, it has that classic Sicilian stonework feel.
