Syracuse is a historic city located on the east coast of Sicily with a thousand-year history that stretches back to ancient times. It is one of the most fascinating and evocative cities on the island, its glorious past evident in every corner, with a rich archaeological and architectural heritage that testifies to its role as one of the most important Greek colonies in Magna Graecia.

At the center of Syracuse is the island of Ortigia: a wonderful ancient part of the city, surrounded by the crystal clear sea. Ortigia is characterized by cobblestone streets, charming squares and ancient buildings that blend different architectural styles, from Greek to Roman, Norman and Baroque times. The Cathedral of Syracuse, the Temple of Apollo and the Fountain of Arethusa are just some of the treasures that can be discovered on this picturesque island.
