Things to do in Syracuse, Sicily: The Best Points of Interest & Landmarks

June 10, 2021 Cedrick Jardin

Once one of ancient Greece’s most important cities, today Syracuse (Siracusa in Italian) is a lively town of about 125,000 on Sicily’s southeast coast. The city overflows with amazing remnants from its long history. Romans, Vandals and Normans are but a few of those who ruled here after the Greeks. In Syracuse’s harbor, Ortygia Island (also called Città Vecchia or Old City) is the site of many of the main attractions, including the seventh-century cathedral and the Fountain of Arethusa.

Anfiteatro Romano di Siracusa

Reviewed By 227ianc - London, United Kingdom

While not much remains of the immense structure with seating that would have surrounded the amphitheatre, there is enough to appreciate its scale and design and see the tunnels through which the lions and gladiators would have entered the arena. Essential to visit, but do so after the Greek Theatre so you can appreciate the history of how this important area developed.
