Syracuse (Siracusa en Italien, Sarausa en sicilien) est la capitale de la province italienne de Syracuse située sur la côte, dans le sud-est de la Sicile. Syracuse est fondée au VIIIe siècle avant notre ère par des colons grecs de Corinthe. Syracuse est restée la capitale de l'île pendant toute l'ère romaine. Cicéron au Ier siècle av. J.-C. l'a présentée comme la plus grande et la plus belle des villes grecques de la Magna Graecia (Grande Grèce). Depuis 2005, son centre historique fait partie du patrimoine mondial de l'humanité établi par l'Unesco.
