Syracuse Experience between history and beauty

A vital and dynamic city with a great past: Syracuse, founded by the Greeks in the 7th century BC, allows you to take a real journey through time, immersed in a history waiting to be discovered. Together with an expert guide, visit the Neapolis Archaeological Park and walk through the still intact ruins of the Hellenic and Roman city. Be enchanted by the mystery of the Ear of Dionysius, a cave named by Caravaggio during a visit in 1608, where you can experience acoustic flawlessness. Don't miss the magnificence of the Greek Theater - an example of ancient engineering, still used today for music and shows - and the Roman Amphitheater - with an elliptical structure, surrounded by steps on two levels. Continue towards the Island of Ortigia, the oldest area of Syracuse, with a visit to the ancient ruins of the Temple of Apollo, the oldest stone temple built by the Greeks in the West. Continue the walk towards Piazza Duomo to see the Cathedral with Roman and Norman influences, with the façade embellished with columns and a large window in the centre. Amaze yourself at the elegance of the Vermexio Municipal Palace, former seat of the city senate and again at the luxury of the Palazzo Benventato del Bosco, a noble residence with decorated rooms, original stuccoes and frescoes. A journey in stages to understand perfection that becomes an icon.
