Siracusa is built on the island of Ortegia, and is connected to the mainland by two bridges. It is guaranteed to keep you enthrall you.

There are many interesting churches and ruins to explore – beneath the ruined church of San Giovanni are the city’s catacombs, second only in scale to Rome’s, and outside the ruin is the oddly shaped building housing the factory-made statue of the Madonna which wept for five days in 1953.

The Piazza del Duomo is one of Sicily’s most elegant squares. Whilst you are there try one of the many cafes or restaurant’s pasta dishes with mussels and urchins, or better still taste the Syracuse speciality of pasta fritta – sweet balls of pasta covered with honey.

There is a labyrinth of alleyways amidst the colourful shops and restaurants. In the evening the buildings in the square are lit up making it the most magical place on the island.
