The Island of Ortigia
The island of Ortigia represents the heart of the splendid city of Syracuse, the original inhabited center where you can experience centuries of history, art, and culture that have distinguished this evocative Sicilian place.
Although it is an island, it is connected to the mainland by the Umbertino Bridge, which allows direct access from the city of Syracuse to the island of Ortigia. Its name harks back to Greek origins, although this area, rich in freshwater springs, was inhabited as early as the Bronze Age, as evidenced by archaeological finds dating from 3500 BC to 4000 BC. and 1200 BC.
Walking through this area means savoring centuries of history, capturing in the still-living buildings of this neighborhood the Greek and Roman civilizations and the indelible passage of the Aragonese and Arabs.
