Augusta
Siracusa · Italy
Founded in 1232 by Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II on Sicily's eastern coast, Augusta is a Sicilian port town with a walkable centre dense with historic churches, cafés, and restaurants. The town was rebuilt after the 1693 Val di Noto earthquake and later served as a major Italian naval base in the Second World War, with Allied forces landing here. One of Italy's principal harbours, it sits within a wider region ringed by UNESCO World Heritage sites.
