Det beste å se i Syracuse
Syracuse Unmissables
Syracuse's history spans more than 2,500 years, centred on the island of Ortigia and the Neapolis Archaeological Park. Ortigia holds the Baroque Cathedral built around a Greek temple, the Temple of Apollo, the Fountain of Arethusa and Castello Maniace. On the mainland, Neapolis brings together the Greek Theatre, the Roman Amphitheatre and the Ear of Dionysius, with the Paolo Orsi museum and the Catacombs of St John close by.
