The church in Syracuse is a catholic church and looks very stunning both outside and inside. It's a beautiful church. A great restoration from the inside, the old Greek six temple columns was originally built in 5th B.C inside the building still in great form which you still see them all standing when coming inside the church. The church has great history way back when the building was converted into mosque in 878, then converted back when Norman Roger 1 of Sicily retook the city in 1085. The 17th century murals, sculpture, pictures and stain glass also looks interesting and beautiful. The church style is classified as High Sicilian Baroque and this is listed as of the historic building and part of World heritage site in the entire city of Syracuse. This is a great historic place to see and highly recommended to visit.
One of the most impress cathedrals on the island. Rich history, great example of the fine baroque art. If you are in Syracuse, not seeing it is a real crime. Also, as it is the center of the city, you can find all kinds of restaurant and gelato places nearby. I absolutely recommend going there!
Awesome cathedral in the center of Syracuse (precisely in Ortigia). I really enjoyed the skulls, remembering me when I was a pirate on the Caribbeans (argh argh and a bottle of rum). The price for the entry is pretty affordable 2, better if you have coins. A little bit disappointed that I couldn’t fine any other living pirates.
Ornate Baroque cathedral. It dominates the square.
