点评:We visited the Chiesa di San Filippo Apostolo during our stay in Siracusa in late April and early May 2026 on the fourth leg of a five week visit to Sicily. This unassuming 18th century church is situated in the heart of Ortigia in what was once the Jewish quarter and it was apparently built above the remains of a medieval synagogue. The church’s simple interior hides its true treasure which is three underground levels containing respectively crypts, a warren of underground passages connecting to various structures in Ortigia (and used as air raid shelters shelters during World War II) and at the lowest level remains of a Jewish ritual bath or mikveh. We took the 30 minute guided underground tour (“Giudecca Sotterranea” at a modest cost of €5 per person) and it provided new perspectives on Siracusa and its history. It was a fascinating tour and we recommend it to those visiting Siracusa for more than a day trip.
翻译:2026年4月底至5月初,我们在西西里岛进行为期五周的游览时,于第四阶段到访了锡拉库萨。期间我们参观了圣菲利波使徒教堂。这座毫不起眼的18世纪教堂坐落于奥尔蒂吉亚岛的中心地带,此处曾是犹太人聚居区;据说教堂是建在一座中世纪犹太会堂的遗迹之上。教堂内部装饰简朴,却隐藏着真正的珍宝——三层地下空间,其中分别设有墓穴等。这是一个由地下通道构成的复杂网络,这些通道连接着奥蒂吉亚岛上的各种建筑(在第二次世界大战期间还被用作防空洞)。在最底层则保存着犹太教仪式浴池——即“米克韦”的遗迹。我们花费了5欧元/人,参加了为期30分钟的地下导览之旅(“Giudecca Sotterranea”)。这次游览让我们对锡拉库萨及其历史有了全新的认识。这是一次非常有趣的体验,我们推荐给那些计划在锡拉库萨停留超过一天的游客。
