History

Syracuse was a leading city of Magna Graecia from the 8th century BC; Ortigia’s Duomo was originally the Temple of Athena and shows Greek, Byzantine, Norman and Baroque layers.

Conservation

Coastal sites are sensitive to crowds and marine debris; stick to marked paths, avoid removing historical fragments and carry out any litter to protect shore habitats.
