The Neapolis Archaeological Park of Syracuse, Italy

One of the most significant archaeological sites from Ancient Greek history in Italy is the Neapolis Archaeological Park near Syracuse. A well-preserved Greek amphitheater from the 5th to the 3rd century BC is housed in a sizable park in Sicily's southeast and is being used for theatrical performances today. In one of the park's numerous old quarries, called the Ear of Dionysius, visitors may imitate the echoes of convicts who were previously confined there as Emperor Dionysius' captives.

The Spanish who used the stone to build Ortigia partially demolished a less well-preserved Roman amphitheater from the second century. The enormous Hieron II sacrifice altar, which dates to the third century BC, is also noteworthy. The park is without a doubt one of Syracuse's best attractions. It may be accessed from Ortigia, the city's historic core, via public transportation or by automobile, and there is nearby parking. It is located two kilometers northwest of Ortigia. The archaeological park is open every day, however the neighboring (10-minute walk) Museo Paolo Orsi, which houses many park artifacts, is closed on Mondays.
