With Gualtiero Offamilio the cathedral is dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin represented in three different iconographies: one is the Dormition of the Mother of God or «Koimesis tes Theotokou» or «Dormitio Virginis», which belongs to the Byzantine tradition, the other two belonging to the Latin tradition: the Assumption and the Coronation in Heaven.

The interior of the Cathedral of San Lorenzo in Genoa

Interno della Cattedrale di San Lorenzo

The interior of the Cathedral of San Lorenzo in Genoa.
The most important church in Liguria is also the most majestic. This is the main altar.
Built in a style that could be called Ligurian, with alternating green and white marble, it is also very beautiful inside.
This is the main nave of the church and you can also see at the top the shield with the cross of St. George, protector of Genoa.

Notre Dame de Saigon

Notre Damme de Saigon

Notre Dame de Saigon.
La cattedrale di Ho Chi Minh costruita dai francesi alla fine del 1800.
Ci sono molte chiese cattoliche in Vietnam, molte di più di quanto potessi immaginare prima di venire in questo paese.
E’ proprio di fianco all’ufficio postale l’altro famoso edificio occidentale della città vietnamita.

Lion in San Lorenzo in Genoa

Lion in San Lorenzo in Genoa.
The most important church in Liguria is also the most majestic. This is one of the two lions that guard the front steps.
A couple of days ago I had a free hour and I used it to take some photos of you.
And this is one of the classic shots of this wonder that I slightly corrected in color.

I really like this photo, what about you? Add a comment comment or go to the bottom of the site to read what other visitors have written.

As always, I'll post them diluted over time.

Bassorilievo della Cattedrale di Palermo.
Alcune foto di una delle cappelle della magnifica chiesa palermitana. In particolare l’altare della cappella di San Pietro e Sant’Agata.
Come in uno scatto precedente della Basilica dei Fieschi in Liguria, l’agnello (ma in questa foto potrebbe anche essere una pecora) e’ nuovamente presente nelle raffigurazioni religiose cattoliche.

The statues of the Cathedral of Palermo

Le statue della Cattedrale di Palermo

The statues of the Cathedral of Palermo.
The garden that is next to this splendid church of Palermo has walls and entrances decorated with these beautiful statues of Saints (or at least I think that's what they are).
These elements also contribute to making the monument extraordinary.

La Cattedrale di Palma

La Cattedrale di Palma

La Cattedrale di Palma.
Passando di fronte alla Cattedrale non e’ possibile non scattare una foto, anche se dal taxi.
L’imponente edificio, costruito nella parte alta della citta’ dalle guglie altissime.
Assolutamente da visitare.

È famosa per il suo rosone e per la grandezza delle sue dimensioni. Misura all’incirca 120 metri di lunghezza, 70 di larghezza, con una superficie di 6.600 m². Le sue volte, alte ben 44 metri, sono fra le più alte al mondo. L’edificio è enorme e si misura tra le più grandi cattedrali europee, superato solo dalla cattedrale di Beauvais, la cattedrale gotica dalle volte più alte del mondo (48 m), e leggermente inferiore all’altezza del duomo di Milano (45 m); al contrario, batte la cattedrale di Colonia, le cui volte raggiungono i 43 metri.

La Cattedrale di Palermo.
Per la prima volta sono riuscito a vedere la chiesa principale della citta’ siciliana. Devo dire che ne sono rimasto affascinato.
E’ stata una visita fugace e solo esterna ma mi sono gia’ riproposto di visitarla meglio.
La foto e’ stata scattata dal giardino che le sta sul lato.
