[2025 Siracusa Attraction] Travel Guide for Syracuse Cathedral (Updated May)

#外游 The charming ancient city of Siracusa is located in the southeast of Sicily~ The coastal scenery is beautiful! This is a place full of history, with many important monuments from ancient Greece in the city. The ancient city was founded in 734 BC, and the Temple of Apollo built at that time has been preserved to this day. The most famous landmark among them, the "Siracusa Cathedral", is located on the Isola di Ortigia Island in the old town and has a very long history! It was originally a temple of Athena in the 5th century BC. It was converted into a church in the 7th century and later destroyed by an earthquake. It was rebuilt in the Baroque style in the 18th century. What we see now is a mixture of multiple architectural styles, and the appearance is gorgeous and majestic. The ancient Greek Doric columns on the main facade were part of the ancient temple and were intentionally retained in the new design during the reconstruction. The Siracusa Cathedral and the Piazza del Duomo in front of it were once the filming locations for the movie "Sicily's Malèna", and it is also the square that the heroine in the movie must pass by every day. In addition, famous attractions include the Aretusa Fountain planted with papyrus, the Diana Fountain, the Church of Our Lady of Tears, etc. #ItalianTravel #EuropeanTravel #OverseasTravel

Siracusa is an ancient coastal city located on the east side of Sicily, Italy. (Sicilian Baroque) Sicilian Baroque, Europe in the 17th century, the special flamboyant style is the unique architectural feature of Sicily And its unique Baroque architectural style is still the architectural feature of the island.

#siracusa is a town on the island of #sicily and it is located on the east coast. It is really far away from Palermo - 350km and much closer to Catania airport. If you go there you will probably need to rent a car. There are many narrow streets and cathedrals around. The architecture is in the expected style for #italy #happynewyear

Waking up among the Baroque church spires of Palermo's old town at dawn, you open the window to salty sea breeze. In this city shrouded in mystery by "The Godfather," the alleys are filled with the aroma of arancini and pistachio gelato. At the seafood market, vendors will hand you freshly shucked oysters to swallow in one gulp with lemon juice, the fresh sweetness shooting straight to your crown. Driving south, the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento gleams golden under the scorching sun. Greek temple columns lean crookedly toward the sky, while tourists in tank tops lie directly on the stone steps sunbathing, resembling an open-air theater forgotten by time. Around the corner, you encounter the pure white cliffs of the Turkish Steps, where young men leap from the rock face into emerald bays, splashing water onto girls' floral skirt hems. Syracuse's sunset belongs to Ortigia Island. By the fountain in Piazza del Duomo, children chase pigeons across filming locations from "Malèna," while the Baroque reliefs of Syracuse Cathedral glow honey-colored in the twilight. In a century-old pastry shop at the end of an old town alley, almond syrup coats ricotta cheese, and one bite evokes Monica Bellucci's languid charm. Catania's nights belong to volcanoes and street life. Mount Etna's sulfurous clouds appear eerily dragon-like under moonlight, but afterward you plunge into the seafood market, where the charred aroma of grilled swordfish with lemon mingles with accordion music from street performers, turning even Mafia legends into dinner table stories. Nine days circling the island, wheels blackened by volcanic ash roll past the pier from "Cinema Paradiso." Passing Taormina's cliff-top theater, you chance upon lovers kissing beneath Greek columns. Sicily's romance isn't found in travel guides, but in the ice-cold lemon soda offered by Cefalù fishermen, in the homemade wine pressed upon you by a Realmonte guesthouse owner, in every unexpected moment saturated with sunshine.

#MarchTravelSupportEvent 🇮🇹If you go to Sicily, Italy, never go here for a day trip⚠️ The city I went to for a day trip but regretted because I wanted to travel more was ‘Siracusa’. Siracusa, which can be reached in about 1 hour and 20 minutes by train from Catania Station, is a place where traces of Greek and Roman mythology remain intact! The entire city is a cultural heritage site, so it is a beautiful, leisurely, and ancient place. 🗺️Places to visit in Syracuse 📍Temple of Apollo Tempio di Apollo (Apollonion) 📍Greek Theater Teatro Greco 📍Ear of Dionysus 📍Fountain of Diana Fontana di Diana 📍Cathedrale metropolitana della Natività di Maria Santissima, Cathedral of Syracuse 📍Cala Rossa Beach 📍Apollonion - Osteria da Carlo, Seafood Cuisine 📍Caffè d‘Ortigia, Cafe in front of the Temple of Apollo 📍Old Town Alleys A day trip to Syracuse is good, but you can feel its greater charm when you go there, so I recommend staying for 1 night🩵💙🧡 #TravelPlan #OverseasTravel #EuropeTravel #trip #Italy #Sicily #Siracusa #italy #sicily #siracusa #Europe

Italy 🇮🇹, finally arrived in Syracuse, the hometown of Archimedes Sicily is one of my favorite European travel destinations. Although the big cities in Sicily are not so clean, such as Palermo and Catania, there are many homeless people and refugees on the streets. But it does not affect the historical atmosphere and bright colors of the Sicily town, which brings people visual pleasure. Syracuse is one of the three most worth visiting towns in Sicily. It is the filming location of "Beautiful Legend of Sicily". It is also the hometown of the famous scholar Archimedes and a world cultural heritage.

Cathedral of Siracusa Duomo di Siracusa was once a Greek temple, and became a church after the Christianization of Sicily in the 7th century. The gorgeous Baroque design by Andrea Palma in the 18th century concealed the former Temple of Athena, but it still shows the 6*14 giant Doric column built in the 5th century BC. In the film "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily", the heroine walks many times in Piazza del Duomo, the Cathedral Square of Ortigia, causing frequent reversals around. has been looking forward to the night when the night falls, slowly walking through the square, the breeze blowing the skirt, faint night, not looking around. Lying in the square, like being thrown into the museum of historical sites, the sky-like cotton-like white clouds, the beautiful cry. Looking for the shadow of Marlene, but she did not find a woman with a high heel. Opening time of the cathedral 8
