Dioniso Restaurant where we had a really delicious dinner a couple of nights agoOur first stop today was the Da Vinci Exhibition of MachinesThe exhibition consisted of replicas of machines actually designed by the Leonardo Da Vinci
After viewing the Da Vinci Exhibition we bought tickets to ‘Artemision’ for viewing an excavation site, situated under the buildingWe visit the remains of the ancient ‘Temple of Artemis’ located off Via Minerva below street levelAt first we thought these were ancient latrines however they actually were draining seats for corpses of priests and laymen. The dead were lined up seated and left to decompose!!! Back to the Magnificent Duomo in Siracusa
