Though Ortigia has become a tourism hot-spot, much of its historic centre remains residential. At its heart, the lively and friendly market continues to serve local people, as it has done through the centuries.
Its abundance of fresh food makes it a natural point of connection between everyday life and Sicily’s rich, colourful food history. The market offers a glimpse of the island’s enduring food culture without leaving the streets of the historic centre.
For visitors, it is a place to experience Ortigia beyond its celebrated sights: sociable, local and woven into the daily life of Siracusa. A visit is especially rewarding for anyone drawn to the character and traditions of Sicilian food.
The Old Market of Ortigia is at Via Trento, 2, in Siracusa.
