A bold tribute to the Ancient Greek Jewel of Sicily and Birthplace of Archimedes where Syracuse, the ancient city on the southeastern coast of Sicily founded as a Corinthian colony in 734 BCE that grew to become the most powerful Greek city in the western Mediterranean and one of the great cities of the ancient world, was described by the Athenian general Thucydides as the city most nearly resembling Athens in its greatness, where the Ortygia island at the heart of Syracuse with its Temple of Apollo, the oldest Doric temple in Sicily dating to around 590 BCE, the Cathedral built within the Doric columns of the ancient Temple of Athena, the Piazza del Duomo lined with Baroque palazzi, and the Fontana di Arethusa fed by the freshwater spring of the mythical nymph Arethusa create one of the most extraordinary historic city centres in Italy and the Mediterranean, where Archimedes, the greatest mathematician and engineer of antiquity born in Syracuse around 287 BCE, invented the Archimedes screw, described the principles of the lever and buoyancy, and reportedly cried Eureka upon discovering the principle of water displacement in his bath, and where the UNESCO World Heritage Neapolis archaeological park contains the largest Greek theatre in Sicily and the Roman amphitheatre carved from living rock.
