Overview
The Cathedral of Syracuse is a unique building: its baroque façade, rebuilt after the 1693 earthquake, hides the columns of the Temple of Athena from the 5th century BC, still visible inside and along the side.
The square in front, Piazza Duomo, is one of the most beautiful in Italy.
Tips for your visit
- Look for the Doric columns along the north wall
- Come back at night to see the square lit up
