About
クイックファクト: Golden limestone glows at dusk, and a narrow climb up the bell tower opens up sweeping views that stitch Roman walls to lively harbor and red-tile rooftops. Inside, an imperial mausoleum's columns and carved reliefs were repurposed into a Christian sanctuary, so every arch and mosaic reads like a layered conversation between Roman craftsmen and medieval builders.
ハイライト: Climb the 57-meter bell tower for a vertiginous panorama where sun-warmed Roman stone meets red-tiled roofs, and spot tiny Egyptian sphinxes and weathered Latin inscriptions that once adorned Emperor Diocletian's 4th-century mausoleum. Step inside and the altar stands within that very imperial rotunda, so you can run your fingers over fluted columns carved in Late Antiquity and imagine how emperors and medieval worshippers tread the very same worn marble.
Insider tips
- Cover shoulders and knees to respect religious customs and avoid being refused entry.
- Climb the bell tower early to beat the narrow-stair crowd and secure the best panoramic shots.
- Avoid flash photography inside the cathedral, use a steady hand or higher ISO for low light.
- Buy combined tickets at the entrance to save time, and skip the treasury if on a tight schedule to shorten your visit.
