The Castello Eurialo (Euryalus Castle) is one of the most imposing and significant military fortifications of ancient Greece. It’s located about 7 km from Syracuse, on the Hyblaean Plateau, in a strategic position that controlled access to the city.In Brief: * Construction: It was built between 402 and 397 BC at the behest of Dionysius I, tyrant of Syracuse, to defend the city from potential attacks. * Name: “Euryalus” comes from ancient Greek and means “broad-based nail” or “wide threshing floor,” likely referring to its shape or function. * Function: It represented the culmination of Syracuse’s defensive system, a masterpiece of military engineering. * Features: It was an extremely advanced fortified complex for its time, characterized by: * Imposing Ditches: Three deep and well-hidden defensive ditches that made it difficult for enemies to approach. * Underground Tunnels: A system of tunnels and trenches that allowed defenders to move quickly and surprise attackers. * Towers: A trapezoidal keep protected by several towers, originally five, reaching up to 15 meters in height. * Pincer Entrance: A complex and well-concealed entrance system designed to trap the enemy. * Historical Importance: It played a crucial role in the defense of Syracuse, particularly during the Roman siege of 212 BC. * Current State: Today, impressive, visitable ruins remain, testifying to the grandeur and ingenuity of ancient military engineers. https://www.comune.siracusa.it/vivere-il-comune/luoghi/castello-eurialo.
