Syracuse
Detail of a painting on the wall of an old shop depicting the Emblem of Sicily, in Ortigia, Syracuse, Sicily, pictured on September 13, 2009, in the morning. The island Ortigia is the historic centre of Syracuse. This Triskelion emblem (a motif of three interlocked spirals) is the centrepiece of the flag of Sicily. It features the winged head of Medusa and three wheat ears. The three legs represent the triangular shape of the island of Sicily. Today the city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
