Saint Corrado is very popular and important for the Noto citizens,
His hermitage is located approximately 5 km from Noto and can be reached using the hilly road heading for Monte Alveria where the old town of Noto used to be located. The eighteenth-century sanctuary is set in a quarry: the Valley of Miracles, a mystical and spiritual place which was given by Corrado Confalonieri, a rich hunter from Piacenza. He lived here in 1322 in total poverty and divine devotion, to become the, then patron saint of Noto.
Inside the sanctuary you can visit the places and relics belonging to the saint. A place which has a Spiritual feel with many local people visiting the Sanctuary.
Also established at the same time is the village of San Corrado Fiuori. Infact this was dedicated to the Saint.
