The Museum of the Cathedral of San Giorgio is located in the historic center of Ragusa. The Museum was inaugurated in 2009 and is located in the rooms of the Cathedral of San Giorgio. The museum itinerary unfolds in three fundamental sections: the so-called Bishop's, the Preachers' and the “Santara” and the “red lounge”. The rooms retain the original architecture with ribbed vaults, ancient floors, stone channels for conveying water, arches and capitals. The Museum was born with the idea of exhibiting and conserving all the collections located in the sacristies or in the warehouses of the diocese of San Giorgio. The goal is to enhance all the artifacts in a single museum location. The route retraces the history and artistic culture of the Ragusa diocese and includes a first historical and topographical overview of the city. Of great interest is the Treasure of San Giorgio, the symbol of Ragusa, which includes a gold case containing the relic of San Giorgio and a cross studded with diamonds, emeralds and rubies. Among the works of the collection there are "ex voto", goldsmith objects such as necklaces, pendants and rings, paintings and sculptures in different materials.
