When you visit these excavation sites you will notice the stoa, a portico which delimited the sacred space. A sanctuary dedicated to Demeter once stood here. You will also see the cavea of a theatre, the fondations of a temple and sections of a perimeter wall and the bases of the towers of the North door. At certain points along the road you will see even see the ruts in the road dug by the chariots.

Like the nearby Foro Siracusano (forum), it formed part of the former agora of Acradina. As with other Roman gymnasiums, pectorals were not exercised: the gymnastics practised here were mainly intellectual. This is a building made up of a four pillared portico, a small theatre and a small marble temple.

This street marks the entrance to the Arab quarter with particularly narrow cul-de-sacs one of which contains a PaleoChristian basilica, San Pietro, which has been converted into an auditorium.

This palace is a must, its amazing balcony stretches along with consoles in the shapes of monsters, chimeras, grotesques and other figures, all more frightening as you go along and perfectly representative of the Baroque taste!
