Despite being ravaged by earthquakes in 1613 and 1693, and floods in 1833 and 1902, Modica has retained some of the most beautiful architecture in Sicily.
Napriek tomu, že mesto poškodilo zemetrasenie v rokoch 1613 a 1693 a povodeň v rokoch 1833 a 1902, zachovala sa jedna z najkrajších architektúr na Sicílii v sicílskom barokovom štýle.
