Neapolis, Archaeological park in Syracuse, Italy
The site contains limestone quarries, Greek and Roman theaters, altars, and catacombs spread across a natural Mediterranean landscape with citrus trees.
The Greek Theater, built in the 5th century BC, hosted the premieres of Aeschylus tragedies and accommodated 16,000 spectators during ancient performances.
The Ear of Dionysus, a 23-meter-high cave extending 65 meters into the cliff, demonstrates advanced acoustic engineering of ancient Greek architecture.
Visitors can access the park via minibus line 2 from Molo Sant'Antonio in Syracuse, with tickets available for purchase directly on the vehicle.
The Altar of Hieron II, constructed in the 3rd century BC, measured 198 meters in length and could accommodate the simultaneous sacrifice of 450 oxen.
