What To Expect

Temple of Apollo (Tempio di Apollo)

The oldest Greek temple in all of Sicily (built in the 6th century BC). On the days when it is open to the public, you can reach the Church of San Filippo Apostolo on the Giudecca. Here, in the depths, a secret Ortygia is hidden: you will visit the crypt, an air-raid shelter used in the Second World War and the well, which was previously a baptismal font.
