Often thought of as the heart of a city, town squares are usually thronging with life and unique characters. See what's going on at Piazza Archimede and look for clues to its long history.

This public square is on the to-do lists of many travelers to Ortigia. But Piazza Archimede isn't the only drawcard here. Cathedral of Syracuse, Temple of Apollo, and Castello Eurialo are some other interesting sights close by.

9.6/10 Exceptional! (15 reviews)

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The room was very clean, spacious, and well-equipped with plenty of wardrobe space. I especially appreciated the small kitchen area — perfect if you want to cook your own meals. The hotel is also located in a quiet area, ideal for a peaceful and relaxing stay. Highly recommended!
