β β β β β Beautiful Cathedral with lots of things to see.
You can't get in with tanktops or clothing lacking sleeves, but jackets are provided if necessary. The entrance fee is just β¬2,00 and it's very much worth the money that you spend on it.
You enter in the great hall seeing various artworks, statues and religious items that are still very beautiful after all those years. Organ music is often played and this adds a whole other level to the experience.
Even if you are not religious this place will almost send you over the edge of believing. It is a true sight to behold and you will feel very in tune with your own spirituality.

β β β β β Amazing architecture and a lovely square in front of the building make for a wonderful atmosphere. The cathedral was closed for visitors when I was there due to an event, so I didnβt get to go inside.

β β β β β The cathedral is a stunning blend of pagan architecture and a Baroque Christian church. The cathedral incorporates the remains of the ancient Minerva Temple, which was erected on the remains of a sixth-century BC Athena temple.
More information could be provided in English or the audio guide with qr code to scan. It is part of the unesco world heritage site, and 2β¬ entrance fee is acceptable.

β β β β β Itβs very famous and also itβs history is very interesting which combines the Greek and Roman architect styles, itβs built BC and lasts till AD. Itβs not very fancy and βwowβ inside. The silver statue only goes out showing the public twice a year and actually no chance u will see it any other days of the year. Thereβs a miniature and video tho. Entrance fee 2β¬.

β β β β β The cathedral of Syracuse is of a beauty that leaves you speechless: a concentration of art, architecture, history and culture. Officially named the Metropolitan Cathedral of the Nativity of Maria Santissima, stands on the elevated part of the island of Ortigia, incorporating what was the main sacred temple in the Doric style of the Syrakousai polis, dedicated to Athena (Minerva) and converted into a church with the advent of Christianity.
It became part of the heritage protected by UNESCO as a world heritage site.
We took several pictures of its houses statues, relics and remains of Syracusan saints, martyrs and nobles, in particolare related to Lucia of Syracuse, known as Santa Lucia, which was a Christian martyr of the early 4th century. Absolutely to visit. βͺοΈ??
