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.

8/10 Very Good! (73 reviews)

This accommodation had a great location, central and close to great restaurants and sight seeing. The staff & service was excellent. I did not have the breakfast so I can't speak to that. The room quality was average. Needs an update/refresh. Street noise was very loud on busy street and difficult to sleep soundly.
