    The Alleged Tomb Of Archimedes Is An Artificial Cave Dug Out Of Limestone, Located Inside The Grotticelle Necropolis. Its Fame Is Due To The Popular Tradition Which Would Place In This Cavity The Burial Of The Famous Syracusan Archimedes. In Reality, It Is Quite Unlikely That The Tomb In Question Corresponds To The Real Tomb Of Archimedes. Cicero, An Ancient Source, Left Evidence Of The Real Burial Place Of The Great Scientist, Which Does Not Correspond To The Location Where The Alleged Tomb Is Located. (Wiki)
