Ginnasio romano, Siracusa

It is a monumental complex dating back to the second half of the 1st century AD that includes a small theatre, surrounded on three sides by a portico, and a temple.

Much of the portico is now illegible while the cavea of the theatre remains visible, with all the charm of the bradyseism that has invaded the scene. In front of the latter, in the center of the portico, there was a small peripteral temple raised on a high podium. It is likely that it was dedicated to mysterious Eastern cults.”
