Ortygia is a small island which is the historical centre of the city of Syracuse, Sicily. The island, also known as the Città Vecchia, contains many historical landmarks.
Sight 2: Terme di Dafne
The Baths of Daphne, also known as the Bath of Daphne, are part of a Syracusan archaeological complex, inside which the so-called Greek arsenal of Syracuse was already found, located near the small port of the city, precisely among the foundations of a civil building to the west of the Greek arsenal.
Sight 3: Arsenale greco
The Greek arsenal of Syracuse is a part of the small port, called Lakkios, where boats were once manufactured and repaired. To facilitate the work, they could be pulled ashore when they suffered breakdowns or to be able to renovate the hulls.
Sight 4: Basilica Santuario di Santa Lucia al Sepolcro
The sanctuary of Santa Lucia al sepolcro is a sanctuary erected on the place where the Syracusan saint was martyred in 304, during the great persecution wanted by the Roman emperor Diocletian.
Sight 5: Basilica Santuario della Madonna delle Lacrime
The Basilica of the Madonna delle Lacrime, also called Madonnina delle Lacrime is a 20th-century Roman Catholic Marian shrine church in Syracuse in Sicily, Italy. The modern building, derided by some as an inverted ice-cream cone, dominates the skyline of the approach to Ortigia.
Sight 6: Ginnasio romano
The Roman Gymnasium is a monumental complex in Syracuse, probably dating back to the second half of the first century AD but mistakenly identified as a gymnasium that includes a theater, a four-sided portico and a temple.
