The Greek Theater in Syracuse, Sicily, built in the fifth century BC, was the the largest in the Western Mediterranean. It was used to space was used for theater and public meetings. It is still each spring as a venue for a festival of classical Greek plays.
Syracuse is really beautiful! Did you also visit the Greek Theater in Taormina?
I did Maria, and though in general I preferred Syracuse to Taormina, I thought the amphitheater in Taormina was much more stunning than the one in Syracuse.
Beautiful!!! And you were there on such a gorgeous day.
Hi Lauren: Thanks. I was SO lucky with the weather this past spring in Italy. I can’t remember even a single day of rain.
It is very hot in Sicily! Today almost 40°C and we should be in Autumn!
Hi Maria: I’ve just returned from Russia, where the cold is setting in, so 40 sounds lovely to me!
