San Martino, Norman church in Syracuse, Italy

The San Martino church features an entrance portal from the 14th century and displays architectural elements spanning multiple centuries of construction and renovation.

The original structure dates back to the Norman period between 1091 and 1194, with parts of the apse and columns originating from the sixth century AD.

The church building incorporates architectural influences from different periods, including Norman and Gothic elements that represent the evolving styles of eastern Sicily.

Visitors can access the church through guided tours that explain the historical development and architectural features of this national heritage site.

The church survived major earthquakes that affected Syracuse, including the 1693 event that led to extensive reconstruction of many surrounding buildings.
