La visita guidata non era prevista il primo gennaio sebbene fosse indicata nel sito. Pertanto richiedo il rimborso della visita guidata per due persone ossia di 29 euro. Poichè abbiamo solo utilizzato i biglietti per gli ingressi (13.5 euro per 2 persone (27 euro in totale)). Grazie Manuela Donalisio

Neapolis Archaeological Park is an archaeological park that's open to the public year-round. It is home to the Greek Theatre of Syracuse, which was constructed in the 5th century BC and rebuilt in the 3rd century, with revisions by the Romans for gladiator access.

You'll also find the Latomie del Paradiso, a mysterious, deep, limestone quarry that provided the stone to build this ancient city, and the Ear of Dionysius, a 23-meter-high grotto. It's said that Dionysius used the excellent acoustics of the quarry to eavesdrop on his prisoners!

Neapolis Archaeological Park is a top archaeological site and tourist attraction in Syracuse, Italy.

Regional Archaeological Museum Paolo Orsi

Situated in a prime location in the Mediterranean Sea, Sicily – and thus Syracuse – was influenced significantly by ancient Rome and Greece. Filled with relics, the Paolo Orsi Museum weaves together the fabric of times in a chronological journey through Syracuse's history from prehistory through the fall of the Roman Empire. There's plenty of artifacts to make your journey through the ages even more fascinating, and a collection of medals in the basement to admire, including depictions of Hercules wrestling the lion during his twelve labors.
