The IBLA Grand Prize Music Competition takes place in the magnificent baroque quarters of UNESCO World Heritage site Ragusa Ibla. It is located in the southernmost tip of Sicily on the Monti Iblei hills facing the Mediterranean sea. One of the most fascinating towns in Sicily, Ragusa has caused many a visitor’s jaw to drop as they first set eyes on Ibla, the historical part of the town. Essentially Baroque, the Ragusa you will see today dates almost entirely from 1693 following a major earthquake. The surrounding area features other amazing baroque towns and miles and miles of sandy beaches.
