Ancient Syracuse

Ancient stone amphitheater under a clear blue sky.

In the heart of Syracuse lies the Neapolis Archaeological Park, home to the wonders of the Greek and Roman eras, covering an area of 240,000 square metres. Here, the Greek Theatre and the Roman Theatre, among the most impressive in Italy, recount ancient stories alongside the Ear of Dionysius, famous for its exceptional acoustics. Established in the 1950s, this archaeological park brings to light the splendours of a glorious past, offering a window onto a bygone era where ancient Syracuse continues to live on.
