INFO:

A little information about Ortigia, Siracusa.

Ortygia (Italian: Ortigia) is an island in the Sicilian town of Siracusa, where the historic center of the city is located. The island has an area of a small square kilometers and has about 4,500 residents. In the northwest, the island is only a few meters wide passage, which is spanned by three bridges, separated from the mainland of Sicily.

Also Ortigia is the oldest part of the city and was chosen by the Greeks for their first settlements to found their colony on. Due to its position and the presence of water it was subject to many successful invasions: by the Greeks, Romans, Swabians, Aragonese and Arabs which is reflected in the beautiful buildings and monuments that nestle majestically among the island’s streets.

Thanks to the Greeks Ortigia played an important political and administrative role. After the Unification of Italy and above all after the World War II, the old town began to be abandoned. Today Ortigia is flourishing again and numerous redevelopment projects are bringing Ortigia back to its former glory.
