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.

Ear of Dionysius attraction highlights

Some information may have been translated by Google Translate

Ear of Dionysius is so named because its cave opening resembles a cat's ear, hence it is also called the Cat's Ear Cave. The shape here is quite unique, with a wide entrance and a winding, deep interior that looks as if it were intentionally carved. Speaking inside amplifies the sound significantly, acting as an amplifier.
