Siracusa : Piazza Duomo / Syracuse : Duomo square

            La principale Piazza a Siracusa è Piazza Duomo che rappresenta il simbolo della ricostruzione barocca in seguito al terremoto del 1693. La Piazza ospita interessanti edifici storici e religiosi; dapprima è possibile notare, per via della sua maestosa facciata, lo stupendo Duomo, dedicato alla Natività di Maria, costruito intorno al VII secolo e ristrutturato dopo il terremoto. Esso fu edificato su antichi reperti greci ed in particolare su un tempio, realizzato in onore alla dea Atene, risalente V secolo a.C.
Accanto al Duomo, sorge il Palazzo Senatorio, o chiamato anche Palazzo Vermexio, sede del Municipio, ed edificato da Andrea Vermexio tra il 1629 ed il 1633. A destra del Duomo, invece, si innalza il Palazzo Vescovile e di seguito il Monastro e la Chiesa di Santa Lucia.
L’altra parte della Piazza invece ospita residenze privati, com il Palazzo Gaetani ed il Palazzo Beneventano del Bosco.
Questa Piazza a Siracusa, sita nella magnifica Isola di Ortigia, fa rimanere tutti incantati.

The main square in Syracuse is Piazza Duomo which is the symbol of the Baroque reconstruction following the earthquake of 1693. The Piazza houses interesting historical and religious buildings; at first it is possible to notice, due to its majestic facade, the stupendous Duomo, dedicated to the Nativity of Mary, built around the seventh century and restored after the earthquake. It was built on ancient Greek finds and in particular on a temple, built in honor of the goddess Athens, dating back to the 5th century a.C.
Next to the Duomo, stands the Palazzo Senatorio, or also called Palazzo Vermexio, seat of the Town Hall, and built by Andrea Vermexio between 1629 and 1633. On the right of the Cathedral, instead, rises the Palazzo Vescovile and then the Monastro and the Church of Santa Lucia.
The other part of the Piazza hosts private residences, such as Palazzo Gaetani and Palazzo Beneventano del Bosco.
This Piazza in Syracuse, located in the magnificent Island of Ortigia, makes everyone remain enchanted.
