3/5

Average

It is a cave with an entrance shaped like a cat's ear, commonly known as the "Cat's Ear Cave". The Syracuse people dug it according to the acoustic principle. Anyone speaking in the center of the cave will become a soprano or a soprano, and the sound will be amplified dozens of times. Dionysius was a tyrant in Syracuse. It is said that the tyrant used this acoustic effect to eavesdrop on the prisoners' conversations.

Some information may have been translated by Google Translate

The Ear of Dionysius, also known as the Cat's Ear Cave because its opening resembles a cat's ear, is quite peculiar. The opening is wide, but the interior is winding and deep, as if deliberately carved. Speaking inside it would amplify the sound considerably, acting as an amplifier.
