特別な音響が特徴の人工洞窟。

The "Ear of Dionysus," which, according to legend, Caravaggio named it. It is said that the tyrant Dionysus I of Syracuse secretly eavesdropped on the conversations of his prisoners through this cave, and since it is shaped like a donkey's ear, Caravaggio probably found the name extremely fitting.

Artificial grotto with excellent acoustics. Excavations on the plateau above uncovered the remains of a temple dedicated to Artemis. The sound was presumably used for religious ceremonies.

In addition to gladiators and animal fights, the theater could be flooded to reenact sea battles. It was one of the largest theaters in ancient Rome, with a capacity of probably 20,000 people.

There is a bus stop, which brings you to the top of the trail, de decent is very comfortable and in the canyon , which the locals use as outdoor pool, you can enjoy some light canyoning

I love sitting on the steps and enjoying a gelato or a granita. The Temple of Minerva and the Cathedral Square are very impressive. But it is only empty here early in the morning or late in the evening.

The cathedral stands as a testimony to the different eras that Syracuse has lived through, from ancient Greek civilization through the Middle Ages to the Baroque and Rococo periods. What is particularly notable is that the structure of the original Doric temple dedicated to the goddess Athena was incorporated into the cathedral. This inclusion not only as a foundation, but as a living part of the cathedral, makes it a unique example of how historical buildings can be preserved and continued to be used over the centuries. The interior of the cathedral is also well worth seeing. The atmosphere inside is characterized by the harmonious connection between the well-preserved ancient columns of the Temple of Athena and the medieval and baroque elements that have been added over the centuries. The cathedral includes several naves and chapels that display a classical yet decorative style typical of the Baroque period. The Cattedrale della Natività di Maria Santissima is considered the most important church in the city of Syracuse and has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. This place invites visitors to delve into the depths of history and discover the cultural layers that have been superimposed over the centuries.
