Across the west end of the Cathedral, the brass line on the floor is a sundial that functions with a ray of light entering from above the first window on the right. It was installed in 1786, and restored in 1976, with the addition of the signs of the zodiac that had been removed when reflooring was done earlier.

The cathedral was built by bishop Zosimo in the 7th century over the great Temple of Athena (5th century BC), on Ortygia island. This was a Doric edifice with six columns on the short sides and 14 on the long ones: these can still be seen incorporated in the walls of the current church.

According to Wikipedia, It is a representation of The Last Judgment. This enormous work, 3,600 square metres of painted surface, was started in 1568 by Giorgio Vasari and Federico Zucchero and would last till 1579. The upper portion, near the lantern, representing The 24 Elders of Apoc. 4 was finished by Vasari before his death in 1574.

Milano di Notte. The lion watches over the crowd from Piazza Duomo, its gaze frozen in time for almost 117 years. In the background, Il Duomo dominates the city square as it has since its construction began around 1386.
