16th May 2023: Syracuse, Italy
Syracuse is a historic city on Sicily. The city is notable for its rich Greek and Roman history, culture, amphitheatres, architecture, and as the birthplace and home of the pre-eminent mathematician and engineer Archimedes. This 2,700-year-old city played a key role in ancient times, when it was one of the major powers of the Mediterranean World. The city was founded by Ancient Greek Corinthians and Teneans and became a very powerful city-state. Described by Cicero as "the greatest Greek city and the most beautiful of them all", it equaled Athens in size during the fifth century BC. It later became part of the Roman Republic and the Byzantine Empire. Under Emperor Constans II, it served as the capital of the Byzantine Empire (663–669). Palermo later overtook it in importance, as the capital of the Kingdom of Sicily. Syracuse and the Rocky Necropolis of Pantalica are since 2005 on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
