Ortigia is the fascinating island that makes up the historic center of Syracuse, one of the oldest and most historically rich cities in Sicily. Connected to the mainland by two bridges, Ortigia is a true jewel of the Mediterranean, known for its extraordinary beauty and archaeological treasures.
Walking through the narrow, winding streets of Ortigia, visitors can admire an extraordinary variety of architecture, ranging from Greek to Baroque times. One of the focal points of the island is the Piazza del Duomo, where the Cathedral of Syracuse stands, built on the remains of an ancient Greek temple dedicated to Athena. This fusion of architectural styles creates a unique and striking atmosphere.
The Temple of Apollo, located at the entrance to the island, is another important archaeological site, dating back to the 6th century BC. Within walking distance is the Ortigia market, where you can immerse yourself in the colors and scents of local produce, from spices to fresh seafood.
The Fountain of Diana, dedicated to the goddess of the hunt, is another must-see, as is Maniace Castle, a 13th-century fortress that offers spectacular views of the sea. Ortigia is also famous for its picturesque squares and numerous restaurants and cafes offering Sicilian specialties, such as arancini, pasta alla Norma, and almond and pistachio desserts.
The crystal clear waters surrounding the island invite swimming or exploring the coast by boat. The Alphaeus waterfront is perfect for a sunset stroll, offering breathtaking sea views and a romantic atmosphere.
With its rich history, fascinating architecture and enchanting seaside location, Ortigia is a must-see destination for anyone visiting Sicily.
