Free Municipal Consortium of Syracuse
Free Municipal Consortium of Syracuse, Administrative division in southeastern Sicily, Italy
The Free Municipal Consortium of Syracuse spans 2,109 square kilometers, featuring coastal areas along the Ionian Sea and agricultural lands across the Hyblaean Mountains.
Established in 2015, this administrative entity replaced the former Province of Syracuse, which had governed the region since 1865 through various political transformations.
The territory contains multiple UNESCO World Heritage sites, including the ancient towns of Noto Valley and Palazzolo Acreide, representing Sicilian Baroque architecture.
The consortium manages 21 municipalities through a centralized system, coordinating urban development, transportation networks, and social services from its capital in Syracuse.
The region contains Lake Lentini, the largest artificial lake in Sicily, supporting over 150 distinct species within its extensive marshland ecosystem.
