Ragusa Cathedral Museum
Museum of the Cathedral of San Giorgio represents the largest museum of sacred art in Ragusa and offers the opportunity to complete a correct historical-religious vision of the city of Ragusa in the last thousand years of history. < br> The itinerary inside the Museum winds through a series of evocative environments rich in architectural pre-existing structures which in the more recent past were used as rooms for the canons.
Of particular interest is the documentary section whose fulcrum is constituted by the exhibition of the original projects of the architect Rosario Gagliardi relating to the construction of the new building of the Duomo and the verification of how the latter was carried out in a faithful way to the project.
Among the works present in the museum of particular interest are: the stone fragments left unharmed by the earthquake of 1693, mostly belonging to the old late-Gothic church dedicated to San Giorgio; the very precious Byzantine enkolpion, a pectoral cross-reliquary belonging to the Treasury of San Giorgio.
