The Cathedral of Santa Maria delle Colonne is the main church of the city of Syracuse. It rests on the foundations of an ancient temple of Athena, parts of which are still preserved. It was converted into a church starting in the 7th century. The building combines Byzantine and Norman elements with Sicilian Baroque.
