The cathedral is a former temple of Athena. The pillars are still standing!

Hiking

Not a highlight in the classic sense - but the entrance to the Archaeological Park. And in my opinion it is definitely worth it. History at your fingertips!

The park is located northwest of Syracuse and was established between 1952 and 1955. It features many impressive buildings, such as the Roman amphitheater, the largest Greek theater in Sicily, and the enormous altar of Hieron II.
