Ortigia Pearl of Siracusa Private Walking Tour

Overview

Ortigia is the most ancient part of Siracusa, that is just as steeped in history but also features with different local shops, mixed archetecture and misterious leggends. There are amazing churches and ancient monuments, like the ruins of the Temple of Apollo that is one of the most ancient Greek temples in Sicily. The cathedral is the most striking and fascinating monument that combines an ancient Doric temple with a roman style interior, a baroque facade and decoration to create a unique style of structure. This wonderful island of Ortigia still bears witness to the unique architectural beauty and cultural legacy that have flourished in it over centuries. You would love to lose yourself while wandering the alleys, piazzas, Greek temples, Gothic and Baroque palaces.
