Province of Syracuse

The province of Syracuse (Italian: provincia di Siracusa; Sicilian: pruvincia di Saragusa) was a province in the autonomous island region of Sicily in Italy. Its capital was the city of Syracuse, a town established by Greek colonists arriving from Corinth in the 8th century BC.

The former province has a population of 382,450 in an area of 2,124.13 square kilometres (820.13 mi) across its 21 municipalities.

Following the suppression of the Sicilian provinces, it was replaced in August 2015 by the free municipal consortium of Syracuse (Italian: libero consorzio comunale di Siracusa).
