Siracusa - Ginnasio Romano

Following Via Elorina westwards from the Piazza Marconi in Syracuse and after crossing the railroad line on the right the visitor will find himself in the fenced-in area known as Ginnasio Romano. It is a Roman site from the first century B.C., not a school or gymnasium as the name suggests but a small theater surrounded by columned halls. The larger part of the auditorium has remained, as well as an altar on a high base behind the stage.
