Welcome to Syracuse
With its ancient ruins, baroque squares, and medieval lanes lined with time-worn palazzi and hip cafès, Syracuse embodies the allure of Sicily past and present. The Duomo and Neapolis Archaeological Park, home to the largest Greek theater on the island, top the list of sights to tour in Syracuse, but visitors also gravitate towards Ortygia, the peninsular old town where the city was founded almost three millennia ago. Here, trendy wine bars and chic artisan boutiques vie for space with nonna-filled markets and fishermen mending their nets along the waterfront.
