★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I wish this altar had been better preserved . It would really look so majestic. This huge altar dedicated by the Greek Tyrrant Hiero to Zeus , once hosted a sacrifice of 400 bulls.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Didn’t get to see the park as we were harassed by some guy pretending to be a parking attendant and demanding money. When I asked for ID he refused and pointed to his t-shirt. When I tried looking up this name he became aggressive and came into my personal space. He walked away and I took a picture of him. He came back demanding I delete the photo and tried to take my phone off me. He then became more aggressive and threatening. As soon as I started saying let’s call the police he said free parking and walked away. Needless to say this wasn’t a pleasant experience and put us off going to the park incase our car was damaged on our return. The city should do something about these scams as it doesn’t give a good lasting impression of Siracusa.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ No information availble in the park itself, a lot of Signs talking about plants. I think the focus should be the ruins. Without background information these are just rocks.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ An impressive monument, the largest altar of it's time. Although it is not in so good a state now one can still get a good impression of what it must have been like in ancient times.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nothing much here, but the remains of what's once there is a pretty nice sight. Too bad you couldn't go down there. Not sure if it's normally open to visitors. I was there in February and the gate was closed, but you can still see it from afar.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Impressive remains of the past, well prezerved today, even it is not much. You can visit it by paying 16,5 euro, but you will find no historical refferences about it inside the Park. Wich means you do your homework before, reading about it, or pay extra to hire a audioguide or a local guide. There are no curators in this superb site, you will not receive even a cheap map for your money.
