The decline in religious vocations began in the 19th century. For this reason, the Church and the mon-astery of cloistered nuns dedicated to Santa Ma-ria del Monte Carmelo, which was built in 1700 by Pompeo Picherali, were no longer used. Although the complex changed its intended use, some traces are still visible such as the bell tower, the staircase and arcade of the old convent. Today, the complex is a multipurpose centre, a venue for events.

In the year 39 A.D., Marciano, while being in Syr-acuse to preach the Gospel, was condemned to death. Today, San Marciano’s relics are treasured in Gaeta, after being previously preserved in the crypt, where the martyrdom had presumably oc-curred. According to the tradition, the crypt was the fi rst Christian burial place, from which the catacombs of Syracuse began to takeshape. In the Byzantine period, it was converted into a church.

It treasures an extraordinary jewel such as “The Burial of St. Lucy” painted by Caravaggio, who was on the run to Malta. Santa Lucia alla Badia complements the late Baroque style with Span-ish-age reminiscences. The date of its founding with the nearby monastery is unknown, but there are traces of them since the 15th century, to which the two wooden crucifi xes date back. The Majoli-ca squared-tiled fl oor has just been restored.

After long-lasting restorations, the church has been reopened. Designed by Michelangelo Bonamici, it was built in the 17th century. In 1693, an earthquake caused the bell tower and the sacristy to collapse. The nuns had to leave in a hurry and move into the Archbishop’s Palace. The reconstruction of the church began in 1703. In the 19th century, the monas-tery was turned into the seat of the Prefecture. The restoration has uncovered the 15th-century portal.

Built in 1199, at the behest of Bishop Lorenzo, the church is one of the few important of Norman ar-chitecture in Syracuse. It has one single nave, deep narrow windows that recall the arrow slits of me-dieval castles and fortresses. The apse is the only part that has preserved the original plan. In 1693, an earthquake damaged it severely. Among the aristocratic burials, it is the tomb of the Blessed Andrea Xueres, a preacher coming from Malta.

In 1866, the monastery of the Sisters of Our Lady were demolished to build the theatre, reusing the stones of the convent. However, the building work-was stopped because it was not fully symmetric, and rumours said it had been cursed. Antonio Breda and Giovanbattista Filippo Basile gave up their assignment. The architect Giuseppe Damiani Almeyda took over them. He accomplished the project, and the theatre was inaugurated in 1897.

The shrine of Apollo, which dates back to the 6th century B.C., is the oldest Doric temple in Sici-ly. Converted into a church in Byzantine times, and then into a mosque, it was reconverted into a church dedicated to the Saviour with the Nor-mans. In 1562, it was used as a Spanish barrack and demolished in the following century. Between 1938 and 1942, the archaeologist Paolo Orsi brought to light the remains of the old 46-column structure.

A large terrace from which you can almost touch the Dome on one side, and dive into the Gulf of Syracuse on the other. You can truly have a breathtaking view from Palazzo Arezzo di Targia, in the baroque heart of Ortigia. The palace, which survived the bombings of WWII – and in some parts has been accurately rebuilt in the 1950s - is a magical place, bearing an enchanting story: that of two professionals who invested in Ortigia thir-ty years ago, when the city was in abandonment and decay, and everyone else was turning to other areas. Now Giuseppe Piccione and Concetta Gril-lo – informally Pucci and Conchita – the landowners, made their home and their terrace a meeting point of renowned guests, artists and intellectuals. Concetta is a magistrate; Giuseppe, who is a lawyer, is President of Amici dell’Inda association and of the Deputazione della Cappella di Santa Lu-cia, which since 1541 takes care of the cult of the saint patron. For Le Vie dei Tesori the terrace will host a tasting of Planeta wines, held by an expert.

It was a temple dedicated to the Goddess of the hunt, Artemis. Young girls used to resort to her for receiving protection. And so did the nymph Arethu-sa, to whom the insistent Alphaeus had shattered her sense of tranquillity. Artemis granted the nympha new life in Syracuse by changing her into a spring. Built on the highest peak of the islet of Ortigia, the temple dates back to the Geomoroi, or Geomori, the landowners descended from Corinthian colonists.

Misused for a long time, the Swabian chapel is a Pal-ace’s jewel. The entrance is through the courtyard. Originally thought to be a porch, it was turned into a place of worship after Emperor Federico II. Af-ter being downgraded to be used as a kitchen and woodshed over the centuries, it was refurbished in the early 20th century. The creation of the Episcopal Prison, instead, is owed to Giovanni Antonio Capobi-anco, the Bishop of the city in the late 17th century.

Named after George Maniakes, the Byzantine Gen-eral who took Syracuse from the Arabs in 1038, it became one of the most impressive castles of the time with Frederick of Swabia, in 1200. With the House of Aragon, namely with Eleanor of Naples, it became “Camera Reginale”, a feudal institution that made Syracuse and its surroundings the queen’s dowry. Here the rebelling barons from Syracuse were gathered on a pretext and beheaded.

San FilippoNeri owes its origins to Margherita De Grandi, a 17th-century noblewoman, who invested all her possessions in the foundation of the church attached to the oratory. Firstly transformed into a college for seminarians and then into high school, the complex was entrusted to the care of congre-gations. Due to mismanagement, it was afterwards assigned to a rector who, to keep the church open, began to celebrate masses collecting alms.
