Lonely Planet review for Parco Archaeologico della Neapolis
For the classicist, Syracuse’s real attraction is the Parco Archaeologico della Neapolis, with its pearly white, 5th-century-BC Teatro Greco, hewn out of the rock above the city. This theatre saw the last tragedies of Aeschylus (including The Persians ), which were first performed here in his presence. In summer it is brought to life again with an annual season of classical theatre. Check the www.apt-siracusa.it website for information.
