The error in the syntax of the provided code is:

**You cannot add a conditional statement after the else keyword.**

In Python, the `else` statement does not take a condition; it should simply be followed by a colon and the block of code to execute if the `if` condition is not met. The correct syntax should be:

```python
def is_year(year):
if year % 4 == 0:
print('Year is divisible by 4')
else:
print('Year is not divisible by 4')
```
