Wide panoramic view of Syracuse, or Siracusa, in Sicily, Italy, showing the historic Mediterranean city and its dense urban landscape under bright southern European light. Syracuse is one of Sicily's most important historic destinations, combining an ancient Greek and Roman past with medieval, Baroque and modern architecture and a waterfront setting on the Ionian Sea. Founded by Greek settlers from Corinth in the 8th century BC, ancient Syracuse grew into one of the most powerful cities of the classical Mediterranean and was associated with the mathematician and inventor Archimedes. The modern city includes the island of Ortigia, its historic core, where narrow streets, limestone buildings, churches, palaces, piazzas and sea views attract visitors throughout the year. The wider archaeological heritage includes the Greek Theatre, Roman Amphitheatre, quarries and the archaeological park of Neapolis, while the Cathedral of Syracuse incorporates columns from an ancient Greek temple. Syracuse and the nearby Rocky Necropolis of Pantalica were inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in recognition of their exceptional archaeological and architectural importance. The scene can additionally support travel features on short breaks, cruise itineraries, self-guided touring, Sicilian food and culture, coastal urbanism and the continuing popularity of historic Mediterranean cities among European and international visitors.
