The Ear of Dionysius (or Ear of Dionysius) is an artificial cave located in the ancient stone quarry called latomia del Paradiso, under the Greek Theater of Syracuse. Dug out of the limestone, it is about 23 m high, from 5 to 11 m wide and develops in depth for 65 m, with an S-shape that also makes it a place for acoustic amplification of sounds.

Dionysius used the cave as a prison for political dissidents, and by means of the perfect acoustics eavesdropped on the plans and secrets of his captives.
