Ginnasio romano, Siracusa

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

Much of the portico is now unreadable, while the cavea of the theater 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 Oriental cults.”
