Syracuse, or Siracusa in Italian, is often overlooked by travelers in favor of Taormina. It combines coastal culture with rich history and Baroque architecture. Founded nearly 3,000 years ago, Syracuse has attracted empires and was deemed a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its cultural significance. The historic center, Ortigia, is known for its charming cobblestone streets, Baroque piazzas, and stunning sea views. Connected by train, Ortigia serves as a gateway to other Sicilian destinations, making it a crucial part of any Sicilian itinerary.
"Syracuse, with its unique blend of coastal culture, rich history, and Baroque-style architecture, is an essential destination for travelers seeking to experience the allure of Sicily."
"Named a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Syracuse has a cultural significance stemming from its origins as an ancient Greek settlement nearly 3,000 years ago."
