Top neighbourhoods in Syracuse

Piazza del duomo - Siracusa

Ortigia

Ortigia's ancient limestone streets tell 2,700 years of Mediterranean stories through every weathered stone. Greek temple ruins stand beside a stunning Baroque cathedral, while the 13th-century Castello Maniace guards this tiny island's tip. The mystical Fonte Aretusa freshwater spring creates a papyrus grove right beside the crystal-clear Ionian Sea. Waterfront trattorias serve fresh seafood and Sicilian classics while you watch fishing boats bobbing at sunset. The compact 1km island is best explored on foot through narrow medieval lanes. Historic palazzos converted to boutique hotels offer authentic stays with sea views from wrought-iron balconies.

The Roman amphitheatre of Syracuse is one of the best preserved structures in the city of Syracuse, Sicily, from the early Imperial period. Between the arch and the amphitheatre, there was a monumental fountain, fed by a large cistern which has not yet been identified. A separate cistern provided water to the amphitheatre itself - it is preserved under the nearby church of San Nicola.

Neapolis

Step back in time at Syracuse's Neapolis, where ancient Greek and Roman civilisations come alive through remarkable ruins. The Greek Theatre carved into limestone hills offers stunning harbour views, while the Roman Amphitheatre reveals gladiatorial heritage. Don't miss the Ear of Dionysius cave where whispers magically amplify, or the Paradise Quarry gardens blooming with Mediterranean flora. Getting around requires walking on uneven ancient paths, with limited bus service connecting to Syracuse centre. Pack a lunch or visit the small café near the entrance since dining options are minimal. The archaeological park closes at sunset, so plan your visit during daylight hours to fully experience this extraordinary outdoor museum.

The Sanctuary of the Madonna delle Lacrime was erected in memory of the miraculous lacrimation of the effigy depicting the Immaculate Heart of Mary, placed to the bedside of the spouses Lannuso at their humble home in Via degli Orti in Syracuse, in 1953.

Santa Lucia

Santa Lucia delivers an epic history lesson with every step through its honey-colored streets. The ancient area showcases Greek ruins, the legendary Tomb of Archimedes, and the stunning Church of Santa Lucia alla Badia with its soaring dome. Colourful fishing boats bob in Porto Piccolo while the Ionian Sea provides a sparkling backdrop to centuries of Mediterranean heritage. Traditional Sicilian trattorias serve fresh seafood along the waterfront promenade. Stone-walled boutique guesthouses and converted palazzo B&Bs make perfect bases for exploring this walkable historic quarter. The limited public buses mean you'll mostly discover Santa Lucia's treasures on foot, which is exactly how this ancient place should be experienced.
