Secret Ortigia: Journey into the Heart of Myth and Stone
- 1 hour and 30 minutes
- French and Italian
Description
Ortigia is not just a neighborhood, but a magical island where Greek myth shakes hands with Sicilian Baroque, immersed in the golden hues of the sunset over the sea.
We will experience together:
- The secrets of the Temple of Apollo
- The splendid and shining Diana surrounded by Alpheus and Arethusa represented by the great Moschetti
- The magic of the metamorphosis of the Cathedral, with the optional internal visit to be chosen by the visitor (in some cases, the entrance to the Cathedral may be closed depending on holidays, possible weddings, or evening hours) with an entrance fee of about 2 euros per person.
- The myth of the Arethusa fountain with the original papyri
- A spectacular view surrounded by the sea that embraces Ortigia at the terrace of the Arethusa fountain.
- A small demonstration of papyrus paper processing in an adjacent workshop at the end of the tour (without obligation to purchase for this demonstration)
