Siracusa

Greek Theater.
Supposedly one of the most perfect examples of theater architecture & one of the biggest.


Dionysus's ear, an artificial grotto (used to be an aqueduct) where the tyrant at the time kept thousands of prisoners (survivors of the Athenian army defeated by the Syracusa army in 413 B.C.) who were forced to do labor.


Inside sound is amplified.
Legend has it the tyrant used to listen to every word the prisoners whispered from a crack at the top.


A pile of rocks, I mean, Jeron's arena.
200 meter long altar for public sacrifices.


Roman amphitheater dating back to 3rd-4th century A.D.
