The island of Ortigia constitutes the oldest part of the city of Syracuse. Its name derives from the ancient Greek "ortyx" which means quail. It is the heart of the city, the first to be inhabited in antiquity, thanks to its geographical position and the presence of waters and springs.
Like the whole of Sicily, Ortigia is also a testimony of past centuries and of the populations that have followed one another. Its territory tells of an ancient history that saw the arrival of the Greeks succeeded by the Romans, the Swabians, the Aragonese and the Arabs.
