Syracuse is located in the southeast corner of the island of Sicily, right by the Gulf of Syracuse next to the Ionian Sea. The city was founded by Ancient Greek Corinthians and Teneans and became a very powerful city-state.
In 2010 Forbes rated Syracuse 4th in the top 10 places to raise a family. Around 399 million years ago, during the middle Devonian Period, the land now occupied by the city of Syracuse was south of the equator and covered by a salty sea.
