Syracuse Cathedral

Syracuse Cathedral

The blushing, rose-coloured cathedral of Syracuse is not to be missed if you love intricate baroque-style structures. Back in the 6th century, the cathedral was created on the site of the limestone Temple of Athena. Today, you can still see the columns and some parts of the chamber from the original building.
