The cathedral is a successful composition of ancient temple and medieval church

Santa Maria delle Colonne, translated as "Saint Mary of the Pillars", is the cathedral of Syracuse and also the main church of the city. It is located on the island of Ortygia and is at its highest point.

Structurally a mixture of ancient temple and Christian church. Very worth seeing - also in the interior.

Syracuse is located on the eastern coast of Sicily on the western part of the Ionian Sea

and on the one of the southern coast and the island of Ortigia

Bay Porto Grande and is an important port city since ancient times. Especially

impressive is the old part Ortigia, the old town on the small island, the

via the Ponte Nuovo is connected to the mainland. Close together

There are Greek temples next to baroque cathedrals and the town hall

the city in Piazza Duomo. The Piazza Archimede is the focal point of

Old town and surrounded by old palaces. Located in the middle of the square

the Artemis fountain. A tour of the city begins on the

best on the Ponte Nuovo, which is the narrow channel between the mainland and the

Island Ortigia crossed. Stroll along the water and cross

the small winding streets. The mathematician Archimedes already has

done more than 2,000 years ago. His throwing machines were at the defense

of Syracuse against the Roman siege in the Second Punic War

used.
