Behind the door of this
Cathedral's Baroque
facade, the simplicity of an
actual Doric temple
colonnades are hidden.
The medieval barrel vault
comfortably meets
the ancient Greek
colonnade to form
a side aisle.

The temple's floor plan easily adapts to the
7th century Basilican plan church. The
darkest components of this plan belong
to the original Doric Greek temple.

An amazing adaptation, probably not noticed in passing.
