Unfortunately, not much remains of the temple. If you're already there, you can take a look. But it's not worth making a special trip just for it.

I actually expected more ancient sites in Syracuse, so I'm particularly pleased about these artifacts, as most of the sights date from much later eras.

Frederick II of Hohenstaufen built it in 1240 to provide the best possible protection for the entrance to the harbor of Syracuse. The Castello Maniace was both a fortress and a royal palace. After an explosion in 1704, the interior of the castle was largely destroyed. The exterior was initially preserved, but the upper floors were later demolished.

The ruins of the Temple of Apollo are one of the first sights encountered upon entering Ortigia, the oldest part of the city of Syracuse. It is of great importance as it marks the transition from wooden to stone construction of temples in Sicily.

In addition to gladiators and animal fights, the theater could be flooded to reenact sea battles. It was one of the largest theaters in ancient Rome, with a capacity of probably 20,000 people.

Ortygia welcomes visitors to the island with the ruins of the Temple of Apollo, dating back to the early 6th century BC. Originally a Christian basilica, it was used by the Arabs as a mosque and converted back into a Christian church by the Normans. You can admire the archaeological site from the outside, as the interior is closed to the public.
