We will then continue towards the Island of Ortigia, the beating heart of Syracuse. In this place, where time seems to have stood still, you can stroll among the remains of the Temple of Apollo, one of the oldest examples of Doric temple in Sicily.

The tour continues to Piazza Duomo, one of the most enchanting squares in Ortigia. Here you can admire the elegant facades of Palazzo Beneventano del Bosco and the Municipio (Town Hall), both splendid examples of Sicilian Baroque architecture. At the center of the square stands the Cathedral, a unique and astonishing example of architectural palimpsest in Sicily, incorporating an ancient Greek temple dedicated to Athena.
To conclude, we cannot miss visiting Castello Maniace, a 13th-century fortress located on the southern tip of Ortigia. With its imposing walls and stunning sea views, the castle is one of the most iconic symbols of the city.
