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.
