| Ortigia Island, city of Syracuse, Sicily, Italy. In front of the Cathedral of Syracuse, stands the marble statue of Apostle St. Paul, works by the Palermo-born sculptor Ignazio Marabitti. Built on the skeleton of a 5th-century BC Greek temple to Athena, Syracuse`s cathedral became a church when the island was evangelised by St Paul. The facade, rebuilt during the first half of the eighteenth century was designed by Andrea Palma. |
