Syracuse

Those who have seen the movie "Sicily's Beautiful Story" should be very familiar with Syracuse. I think it is more beautiful than what is shown in the movie. Although the buildings are old, they are still very attractive. The sea view of Syracuse, located in the south of Sicily, is also invincible.

Syracuse Cathedral

Syracuse, founded in 743 BC, is the filming location of The Beautiful Legend of Sicily. The Byzantine-style Syracuse Cathedral is a place where movie stars have walked calmly countless times. The square is crowded with people, and the melodious melody of the accordion seems to tell the rich and glorious history of Syracuse. I like the bright sunshine and humanistic feelings of Sicily.

Ear of Dionysius

It is a cave with an entrance shaped like a cat's ear, commonly known as the "Cat's Ear Cave". The Syracuse people dug it according to the acoustic principle. Anyone speaking in the center of the cave will become a soprano or a soprano, and the sound will be amplified dozens of times. Dionysius was a tyrant in Syracuse. It is said that the tyrant used this acoustic effect to eavesdrop on the prisoners' conversations.

Arethusa Spring

I saw this fountain while strolling along the beach nearby. It's not special. To be honest, I was too lazy to even take a photo with my phone. But we rented bicycles and rode around, especially along the beach. It was very interesting.
