Serviced Apartments in Siracusa

This ancient Sicilian city boasts a rich, heady mix of ancient Greek history, culture and architecture and for those staying in a serviced residence or holiday apartment in Siracuse there is a lovely historic centre to discover, an incredible Archaeological park to explore and a fantastic little place that sells the best Italian ice cream you have ever tasted. What more could you ask for.

The historic centre or Ortegia as it’s known is just a short distance from your Siracuse apartment rental or holiday letting and here you will see the remains of the Temple of Apollo, dating back to the mid 500s BC, sitting comfortably in Piazza Pancali. In Piazza Duomo you will find the cathedral with it’s vast structure actually incorporating part of an ancient Greek temple, the Temple of Minerva, built in the 5th century BC.

Maniace’s Castle is also worth a browse. This square castle has a circular tower in each of it’s corners and was originally built for military purposes in the 1200s. Before leaving Piazza del Duomo make a pit stop at Gelati Bianca for some of the best ice-cream you have ever tasted. My personal favourite is the almond flavour. Delicious.

Situated in Piazza San Lucia you will find the Basilica of Santa Lucia dating back to the 4th century AD and built on the site of the city’s patron saint Santa Lucia’s martyrdom. The church has undergone extensive work over the years and now the exterior has a much newer look dating back to the 1500s but inside you will still find some of the original features including 3 semicircular apses and the portal. Beneath the church runs a series of catacombs well worth exploring if they are open on your visit.

Terminite Hill is a short journey from your service apartment or aparthotel in Siracuse and here you will find the Neopolis Archaeological Park. The park boasts a host of ancient Greek and Roman architecture including two amphitheatres, one Greek and one Roman, several quarries, The Altar of Geron II, numerous necropolis and some really interesting caves worth peering into. A thoroughly intriguing place to visit.
