Part 7/9:
The next morning leads them to the Neapolis Archaeological Park, but first, they stop at three modern churches that pique their interest. The Church of San Tomaso El paon, commemorating World War I fallen, showcases a poignant part of the city's history. Next, they are mesmerized by the striking exterior and lovely interior of the Church of Sanita. Their exploration culminates in the sanctuary of the Virgin Tears, renowned for its impressive design and the miraculous story behind it.
Their adventures take them to the Greek Theater, dating back to the 5th century BC, still in use today for concerts. The theater's grand setting, surrounded by nature, evokes a sense of Syracuse's former greatness, once comparable to Athens in its cultural significance.
