Here you will find the Greek Theatre, which still hosts remarkable performances of classical plays during May and June; the Roman Amphitheatre, the Ear of Dionysius (an ancient prison for slaves), and the Latomie of Neapolis, the stone quarries from which the city itself was built.
Syracuse
In the heart of the Val di Noto
Walking among the charm and myths of Magna Graecia.
The island of Ortigia, the historic heart of the city, is the oldest and most evocative part of Syracuse.
Wander through the characteristic narrow streets and you'll discover remnants of temples, squares, palaces and churches, not to mention the timeless charm of the Jewish quarter.
The magnificent Piazza del Duomo with its jewel of a Cathedral, the Church of Santa Lucia alla Borgata housing Caravaggio's celebrated painting, and the Fountain of Arethusa are just some of the unmissable highlights.
The island of Ortigia, the historic centre of Syracuse, can be reached in just 15 minutes by car from Donna Coraly Country Hotel.
