The article deals with the themes of the protection and enhancement of the Greek Theatre of Syracuse, specifically addressing the dual soul of the monument: on the one hand, as an archaeological asset, on the other, as the background and setting of theatrical performances. The functional and distributive analysis of the Neapolis archaeological park that was conducted revealed critical issues in the management of flows - spectators, visitors and actors - and in the use of the site. The intervention proposes a tripartition of the entrances, the redesign of a ramp and the construction of a staircase with a lift to reach the stands. The new ticket office is the result of the recovery of an old water mill that has been disused to date. The project establishes a new focal point within the archaeological park, restoring prominence to the theatrical function while enhancing the genius loci of the Syracusan archaeological landscape.
