Castello dei Conti (Modica Alta) is a compact historic fortress ideal for moody stone-and-sky compositions and dramatic stairways through the old town. Visit in late afternoon for warm light and long shadows over the ramparts; mornings are clearer but often windier. Streets are narrow—arrive on foot or by taxi. No special entry fees typically, but access may vary with local events/closures.
