Syracuse & the Southeast - Sicily - page 431

Like every other town in the region, Ragusa Ibla (the old town) collapsed after the 1693
earthquake and a new town, Ragusa Superiore, was built on a high plateau above. But the
old aristocracy was loath to leave the tottering palazzi and rebuilt Ragusa Ibla on exactly
the same spot. The two towns were merged in 1927.
