Plants and Vegetation in the Archaeological Park of Neapolis of Syracuse (Sicily, Italy): A Management Effort and also an Opportunity for Better Enjoyment of the Site

Maintenance interventions in the Neapolis Archaeological Park of Syracuse, Italy, have not only preserved significant flora but also uncovered potential classical-period introductions. An interdisciplinary project following 2013's green area restoration developed management guidelines for the site's vegetation, enhancing both monument preservation and visitor engagement through thematic routes. The study highlights how integrated conservation efforts can dual-purpose: safeguarding heritage while enriching interpretive experiences.
