Syracuse, Italy

Syracuse, a city with a glorious past that was a worthy rival of Athens, Carthage and Rome for winning over domination of the island, is today one of the most interesting cities in Sicily, the cradle of theatre and a fantastic monument to Baroque style.

Syracuse (Siracusa in Italian) stands on the East coast of Sicily, next to the clear blue sea and with two famous rivers, the Ciane and the Ananapo. Poets and writers, from Cicero to D’Annunzio were inspired by the beauty of this place and by the legends linked to this area.
