Isla de Ortigia🌊 la antigua ciudad de Siracusa en SICILIA| Italia🇮🇹

Welcome to Syracuse, Sicily ❗️ 💎Syracuse, one of the jewels of Sicily, is a city with a history dating back to ancient Greece. Founded in the 8th century BC. By Corinthian settlers, Syracuse quickly became the cultural center of the Hellenic world, rivaling even Athens. During its heyday, it was the home of the famous mathematician and engineer Archimedes, whose legacy still resonates in modern science. 💖The historic heart of Syracuse is the Island of Ortygia, a small island connected to the city by two bridges. Ortigia is a charming labyrinth of narrow streets, pretty squares and historic buildings that reflect the mix of cultures that have passed through Syracuse from the Greeks and Romans to the Byzantines, Arabs, Normans and Spanish. Among its most notable monuments are the Temple of Apollo and the Cathedral of Syracuse, built on the ancient Greek Temple of Athena. ✅️Ortigia is also home to the Aretusa Fountain, a natural source of fresh water, shrouded in myths and legends. Walking through Ortigia at sunset, with the soft lights reflected in the Ionian Sea, is a unique experience. The Island of Ortygia encapsulates the essence of Syracuse: a mix of history, culture and natural beauty that appeals to all visitors.
