Neapolis Archaeological Park
Step back to the 5th century BC at Neapolis Archeological Park in Syracuse and marvel at the impressive Greek and Roman structures on Temenite Hill. Head south along the Neapolis route and explore the mysteries of the Latomìe to the north, once quarries and prisons in ancient times.
The Greek Theatre, commissioned by Gelon and designed by Damokopos, showcases Syracuse's cultural influence, giving rise to Doric comedies and mimes. Check out the Ear of Dionysius, a cave with exceptional acoustics rumored to be used by Dionysius for eavesdropping on prisoners. Nearby, visit the Grotta dei Cordari, where artisans crafted ropes in a naturally humid setting.
Maniace Castle
Step into Maniace Castle, a 13th-century masterpiece crafted by Frederick II, proudly overlooking the vibrant blue hues of the Ionian Sea. Explore the fascinating fusion of Norman and Byzantine influences in its strong battlements and intricate details. Take a stroll along the castle's seaside walls, treating yourself to panoramic views of Syracuse's coastal allure. Appreciate the strategic brilliance of its positioning, a glimpse into the medieval grandeur of the castle.
