Avola is in the province of Siracusa and has been rebuilt in a modern "grid" after it was destroyed by a terrible earthquake in 1693. According to the Rennaissance design, a large square piazza surrounded by other smaller piazzas marks the heart of a town.
Avola Antica, the ancient city, in the Monte Aquilone district, is of historical interest with the ruins of the medieval city and features that testify to the existence of prehistoric settlements at the site.
