Siracusa - Parco Archeologico della Neapoli 


The district north of Viale Paolo Orsi and west of Viale Teracati, where Neapolis, the New Town, once lay, is attractive to the visitor because of the range of ancient sites in the Parco Archeologico. Driving round the area along Viale Rizzo there is a fine view to be had of the excavations, and from the junction with Viale Teracati can be seen the Necropolis and the Grave of Archimedes, as it is known.
The narrow, made-up road Via Paradiso now leads down to the Altar of Hiero (on the left) and the house where entry tickets can be purchased (on the right). Behind this building turn left to the Greek Theater (Teatro Greco). Returning from there to the entrance, the other path leads down to the quarries (latomias) with the "Ear of Dionysios".
Returning once more to the entrance, this time take the Via Paradiso to the section on the right with the Roman Amphitheater (Antiteatro Romano), where entry tickets have to be shown again.
