Project Description
Founded by ancient Greek Corinthians, the city of Siracusa, a World Heritage Site, is famous for its rich history, culture, amphitheatres, and as the birthplace of the greatest mathematician in classical antiquity and one of the greatest of all time: Archimedes.
This tour also includes the visit of the church of Santa Lucia alla Badia where we’ll admire one of Caravaggio‘s masterpieces: The Burial of Saint Lucy. Recently restored in Rome, the painting will leave the viewer emotionally slayed.
The day ends at the fresh water spring of Aretusa where the papyrus still grows abundantly and whose history goes back to the earliest Greek colonists.
