Avola, Coastal commune in Sicily, Italy
Avola extends between the Ionian Sea and Ibleo mountains, following the ancient Greek road Via Elorina in the southern territory of Syracuse.
The discovery of Greek gold jewelry and 300 coins from 370-300 BC near Avola in 1914 resulted in their preservation at the British Museum.
The Teatro Comunale presents regular opera performances while the Vecchio Mercato, a former Benedictine monastery, functions as a daily fresh market.
Travelers reach Avola through the A18 highway or Fontanarossa Catania airport, with regular bus connections to major Sicilian cities.
The city relocated after the 1693 earthquake, implementing a geometric urban layout designed by friar architect Angelo Italia.
