Foro Siracusano, Archaeological site in Syracuse, Italy.

The Foro Siracusano contains remnants of an Imperial Age portico with three marble columns and ancient limestone flagstones from the Roman period.

The site replaced the Greek agora between two ports, marking the transition from Greek to Roman dominance in Syracuse during ancient times.

The forum served as the primary gathering space for civic and social activities, featuring monuments described by Cicero including porticos and a temple.

Located at coordinates 37.0671847, 15.2848267, the archaeological site combines historical structures with a modern public garden and recreational facilities.

The southern section preserves an extensive segment of the main road of Achradina, with original pavement dating from archaic times through Byzantine period.
