Ortygia is a small island off the east coast of Sicily that forms the historic center of the city of Syracuse and is separated from the mainland by a strait a few meters wide. Wonderful baroque small town, nice to stay!

The entrance onto this bridge is just the beginning. You enter the beautiful island of Ortigia full of history. Immediately afterwards are the remains of the Temple of Apollo.
