Discover Ortigia walking among its most important sites with your expert guide. Begin your experience from the Temple of Apollo, the oldest Greek temple of all Sicily, built in the 6th century BC. Continue passing through Piazza Archimede with its Diana Fountain and the Church of San Filippo Apostolo alla Giudecca. Here, you will visit the crypt, used as air-raid shelter used during WW2 and the mikvè, a "purification bath" belonging to the Synagogue. Move on admiring the majestic Cathedral that characterizes one of the most beautiful squares in Italy, and then to the enchanting Fonte Aretusa which gives life to the ancient legend of Aretusa and Alfeo.
