On the island of Ortygia, the historic center of Syracuse, you will admire the Temple of Apollo, the oldest Doric temple in the Greek West, Piazza Archimedes, whose center is embellished by the Diana Fountain, linked to the myth of the nymph Arethusa, transformed by the goddess Diana into a spring to escape the amorous advances of Alpheus. Stroll through the streets of the old town and discover the wonderful details carved in the stone of an entrance portal. Discover the local traditions and myths and legends that have made Ortigia famous all over the world. Visit the Cathedral in Piazza Duomo, built on the ruins of a temple dedicated to the goddess Athena. Admire the eighteenth-century facade and the fusion of different cults.
