Ponte Umbertino – Entrance to Ortigia

Highlight • Bridge

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!

Fountain of Arethusa

Highlight • Natural Monument

A freshwater source essentially in the sea (on the island, and yet!)
This is really something special!

Maniace Castle

Highlight • Castle

Castello Maniace – the present fortress was built by Frederick II from 1232 to 1240.

In 1704, a gunpowder chamber exploded, destroying large parts of the interior of Castello Maniace. The exterior, however, remains virtually unchanged. It has been open to visitors since 2004 following renovations.

Worth seeing: the portal from the Hohenstaufen period, the Gothic columned hall of Castello Maniace with its cross-ribbed vault, and the Hohenstaufen stele next to the entrance.
