Located near the southeastern corner of Sicily on the Ionian coast, Syracuse is built on an ancient Greek settlement founded by Corinthians in 734 BC. Syracuse was the city of Archimedes, Pindar and Aeschylus, whose plays are still performed in the huge amphitheatre and it is the city of Italy that preserves more Greek history. Syracuse's older residential quarter is an island, Ortigia, from the Greek for quail, probably named for that bird's abundance in this area. Ortigia is connected with the island of Sicily through two short bridges and is known for, among many other things, the freshwater Spring of Arethus. The small town of Noto, in the southeast was founded again in the 1700s. It is the heart and, at the same time, the starting point for a visit to the valley of the Sicilian Baroque.
