Siracusa - Latomia dei Cappuccini

From the catacombs in Syracuse, going northeast along Via Augusto von Platen, with the entrance to the Catacombs of Vigna Cassia, and then 500m/550yd east along Via Bassa Acradina, past the Old Cemetery, we come to a Capuchin monastery and beside it the Latomia dei Cappuccini, one of the ancient quarries, in which the 7,000 Athenian prisoners taken in 414 B.C. were probably confined.
