Location Description:
Ortigia is the oldest part of the city of Syracuse, connected to the mainland by the Umbertino Bridge that allows you to pass directly from Syracuse city to the island.
Its name refers to Greek origins, even if this area was populated since the Bronze Age, as evidenced by archaeological finds dating back between 3500 BC and 1200 BC.
Walking in this territory you can taste centuries of history thanks to the still admirable buildings of Greek and Roman civilizations and the indelible passage of Aragonese and Arabs.
The island is permanently connected by two bridges that can also be passable by car.
In Ortigia there are some beautiful buildings dating back to various eras, which retrace its history from the Greek period. The most famous, the temple of Athena (erected in the 5th century BC), today sees its columns and stepped base incorporated into the more modern Cathedral of Syracuse, built in the 17th century in full Baroque style. This imposing building is erected in the homonymous Piazza Duomo, which together with Piazza Montalto represents one of the nerve centres of the island.
There are also numerous religious architecture, among which the Church of Santa Lucia is of particular note a beautiful Baroque building, once part of a nunnery, for several years now has housed a splendid work of art by Caravaggio, the Burial of Santa Lucia.
Among the many architectural beauties to visit there is certainly the Maniace Castle, which is situated on the extreme tip of the island, and the Arethusa Fountain, a freshwater mirror that recalls a famous Greek myth and where the famous papyrus plants of Syracuse grow.
Important economic and cultural source of Ortigia is the market with its stands, full of aromas of fruits, vegetables, cheese, fresh fish.
