The second oldest temple of Siracuse: the Temple of Olympian Zeus was built in a strategic position for sailors.
Today,what is left of this originial building is little but the view is still beautiful.
The Temple of Olympian Zeus, the second oldest temple in Syracuse after that of Apollo in Ortigia, rose in the ancient village called Polichne, in a panoramic position, slightly elevated.
The Doric building, surrounded by large monolithic columns, appeared really impressive.
It arose in an ancient small village called Polichne, in panoramic position and a little elevated, in fact in the greek period it is used a reference for sailors which went in and came out from the Siracuse's port.
Still today, from his strategic position you can admire the Big Port, le Saline, Ortigia and the Plemmirio.
