Terrain, waters and landscape
Waters
The Ciane River is one of the most vibrant water resources in the geography of Siracusa. The wetlands spreading along the riverbed sustain a highly distinct local ecosystem. The Egyptian papyrus plants clustering along the riverbanks make this stream completely unique in Europe. Fed by crystal-clear natural springs, the river traverses the southern plains of the city before reaching the sea. Explore its mouth and delta on the Map.
