Province of Syracuse, Former Italian province in eastern Sicily, Italy.
The Province of Syracuse extended across southeastern Sicily with 21 municipalities, including Augusta, Noto, and its capital city Syracuse.
The administrative region was established in 1865 during the reorganization of the Kingdom of Italy and maintained its status until 2015.
The province contains numerous UNESCO World Heritage sites, including Greek theaters, Roman amphitheaters, and Baroque architecture throughout its territory.
The geographical location along the Ionian Sea coast provided natural harbors and strategic advantages for maritime trade and defense systems.
The territory includes the southeastern point of Sicily at Portopalo di Capo Passero, where the Ionian and Mediterranean Seas meet.
