Top 7 Sacred & Religious Sites in Syracuse, Sicily
Once one of ancient Greece’s most important cities, today Syracuse (Siracusa in Italian) is a lively town of about 125,000 on Sicily’s southeast coast. The city overflows with amazing remnants from its long history. Romans, Vandals and Normans are but a few of those who ruled here after the Greeks. In Syracuse’s harbor, Ortygia Island (also called Città Vecchia or Old City) is the site of many of the main attractions, including the seventh-century cathedral and the Fountain of Arethusa.

We visited Syracuse and the Isle of Ortigia for the day. From the train station we explored Syracuse before heading to Ortigia and stumbled upon this little gem of a cathedral. Very unusual, very modern and quite beautiful. Inside is one big empty space with the chapels situated on the outside of this circular interior. Some of these chapels have been decorated with paintings done by children. You can walk downstairs to see the next level below. There is no admission charge. Highly recommend a visit this cathedral is lovely and the modern architecture is beautiful
