Located in Eastern Sicily, the small circuit of Autodromo International Siracusa is left as a shadow of its former, more prestigious self. Originally a street circuit, racing began in Spring 1950 when the circuit held the 1st Coppa d’Oro di Sicilia (Sicily Golden Cup), a race for Sport cars. The following year the circuit held the first Syracuse Grand Prix, a non championship F1 race. The circuit continued to host F1 races until 1967, with racing coming to an end in 1970.

By 2000, a new permanent circuit was built and small racing events were held.

Recently, this circuit fell out of use and is now abandonned.
