Chiesa di San Filippo Apostolo, Baroque church in Syracuse, Italy.
The Chiesa di San Filippo Apostolo features grand staircases and paintings depicting scenes from Christ's life throughout its interior spaces.
The church building, constructed in the 1700s, stands on the foundation of a medieval synagogue that previously occupied this location in Syracuse.
The church houses important religious artworks and maintains regular Catholic services according to the Roman Rite of the Archdiocese of Syracuse.
Visitors can access the church through guided tours available Monday to Saturday from April to October, with a daily closure between 12:30 and 15:00.
Three levels beneath the church contain a Jewish ritual bath, World War II shelter tunnels with military drawings, and burial crypts with religious frescoes.
