What to do and see in Syracuse, Sicily: The Best Architectural Buildings
Once one of ancient Greece’s most important cities, today Syracuse (Siracusa in Italian) is a lively town of about 125,000 on Sicily’s southeast coast. The city overflows with amazing remnants from its long history. Romans, Vandals and Normans are but a few of those who ruled here after the Greeks. In Syracuse’s harbor, Ortygia Island (also called Città Vecchia or Old City) is the site of many of the main attractions, including the seventh-century cathedral and the Fountain of Arethusa.

This is a spectacular wide open piazza with lots happening, we were lucky it was Epiphany and they had drummers and flag twirlers in the square, The surrounding buildings especially the Duomo are breathtaking. Sometimes quiet often busy you can sit and drink a coffee and watch the world go by.

Having enjoyed a delicious supper we strolled back to the Piazza Duomo and noticed the sign for tours of the private apartments (several tours run during the evening) we went on the 22.00 hrs. We were given a delightful and informed tour of the rooms and finished with a complimentary glass of prosseco. The rooms have been restored and tell the fascinating story of a grand party house, some great photographs of the Duomo can be taken from the balconies of the apartment.
