Noto, the Baroque city

This balcony from the Palazzo Nicolaci is one of many Baroque wonders in Noto. Every facade and balcony in the city seemed to capture some face or figure. The architects of the day liked to use Baroque style to overwhelm the locals with scenes of beauty and terror, thus topless women sharing wall space with dragons and lions is a recurring theme in town. Posted by Picasa
