Siracusa has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2005. This is mainly due to its enormous historical, archaeological, cultural and anthropological importance. Siracusa is a unique city in the world that has its historical centre located on an enchanting island, Ortigia. With its unrivalled beauty, Siracusa was, for a period, the most important city in Magna Grecia and was declared by Cicero to be its most beautiful.
