The Cathedral of Syracuse is located on the island of Ortigia. It was originally the Temple of Athena. In the 7th century, Sicily was converted into a church after Christianization. It became a typical Byzantine building. It was built in a gorgeous Baroque style. Today, the various styles in the building merge with each other, and the massive Doric columns built in the 5th century BC are still clearly visible. The cathedral and the square opposite it are the location of the "Beautiful Legend of Sicily", and the glamorous heroine Marina in the movie has walked here many times. On weekends, there are endless stream of believers and tourists who worship here, which also adds a bit of vitality to this ancient building.
