San Filippo: Religious Sites, Museums and Beaches

San Filippo: Culture, Coast and Hilly Landscape

San Filippo connects Modica with a wider area encompassing culture, coast and hills. Museums and beaches are located in the area around San Filippo. Religious sites as well as permaculture, workshops and fermentations are also among the specific topics.

The Road Connection Through Modica

Strada San Filippo continues Via San Filippo and joins the SS 115. The road itself is 750 metres long and 4.50 metres wide. The length refers to this section; the continuation to Via San Filippo and the connection to the SS 115 clarify the course of the road. When planning a route, the sequence of roads and the section measurements can therefore be considered separately.

Religious Sites and a Dated Construction Reference

The San Filippo Neri parish is located in Contrada San Filippo in Modica. The Chiesa di San Filippo Neri is also located in C.da San Filippo Neri. The parish and the church bear the same name, San Filippo Neri, and are situated at the respective Contrada locations indicated. A house was built in Contrada San Filippo in Modica in 1872. For travellers interested in culture, the two religious sites and the dated construction reference can be considered separate topics in the history of the area.

A Specific Address Reference

As of 31 December 2025, the address of Azienda Agrituristica Torra San Filippo is C.de Calvario San Filippo Aguglie 1C in Modica.

Four Museums in the Wider Area Around San Filippo

The Museo Ibleo delle Arti e Tradizioni Popolari “s. A. Guastella” is a museum in the area around San Filippo. Casa Natale Salvatore Quasimodo is also a museum in this area. In addition, there are the Museum of Chocolate of Modica and the Museo Medico Tommaso Campailla, both museums in the area around San Filippo. Culture enthusiasts will therefore find four specific museums in the wider area around San Filippo. Their themes range from folk arts and traditions, through Salvatore Quasimodo’s birthplace and chocolate, to the medical museum.

Beaches and Hilly Landscape

The coast is also part of the area around San Filippo. Spiaggia Raganzino, Spiaggia Sampieri, Spiaggia Pozzallo and Pietre Nere are located there. The hills of Ragusa, Modica and Ispica descend in steps towards the sea. When planning between the coast and inland areas, the four beach names and the stepped descent of the hills represent two different landscape references.

Permaculture and Fermentation

In addition to Cantina Frasca, the Mondo in Fermento association offers permaculture, workshops and fermentations. For travellers interested in these topics, this provides a separate association-related point of reference alongside the religious sites, museums and beaches. This subject area can be considered separately from the local and landscape references when planning a trip.

Other destinations include Plaja Grande, Sampieri, Marina Di Ragusa, Campanella-gianforma, Pozzallo, Acate, Camemi and Puntarazzi.
