Il Duomo di Siracusa, il cui impianto architettonico, concepito come uno scrigno prezioso, cela al suo interno uno dei più celebri e meglio conservati monumenti in stile dorico della Sicilia: il tempio di Atena. Del tempio greco, si possono ancora vedere quasi tutte le colonne del peristilio e parti delle mura della cella. Queste, nel VI secolo d.C., furono inglobate alla chiesa bizantina che si sovrappose all'originaria struttura templare dell'edificio. I Bizantini innalzarono delle mura solide nello spazio tra le colonne e aprirono otto archi sulle pareti dell'antica cella, trasformando, così, il tempio in una basilica cristiana a tre navate che consacrarono alla Vergine Maria. Il terribile terremoto del 1693 distrusse la facciata normanna e il campanile che non fu mai più ricostruito. Il restauro che seguì ai danneggiamenti, fu occasione per abbellire internamente la chiesa e per ricostruire all'esterno una facciata nuova, che fu realizzata nella prima metà del Settecento come una quinta teatrale sull'originale impianto bizantino. -------Tutte le foto contenute in queste gallerie sono copyright Sergio Bartolomeo e non possono essere utilizzate in alcuna forma senza il consenso dell'autore.

Hi Mauro. the blue hour is always magical.
Looked for a p.d.r. that highlighted the side wall that preserves the columns of the old Greek temple and the most recent eighteenth-century façade.
I'm very pleased with your snap and caption appreciation.
Thank you very much
A dear greeting
Sergio

Beautiful and evocative image of what, personally, I consider the most beautiful building on Earth, a "Bignami" of Western civilization from Doric to Byzantine, Norman to Baroque (Sicilian) with the gate that, although Baroque, seems to anticipate Liberty. There is nothing like it in the world, like the.... Sicily.
Congratulations!

Grazie Luciano, son molto contento per il tuo apprezzamento a questo monumento: scrigno di civiltà ed espressione delle diverse dominazioni che hanno caraatterizzato la Sicilia ed in particolare Siracusa, città che possiede un suo estremo fascino.
Oggi trasuda storia, ma si caratterizza anche per una atmosfera ancora sufficientemente rilassante: nei colori e nelle geometrie e pur presa di mira da masse di turismo importanti, mantiene una sua atmosfera concciliante ed accogliente.
Lieto ti sia piaciuto questo scatto e grazie mille anche per i graditi complimenti
Saluti
Sergio
