The statues of the Cathedral of 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.
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.

Click here per vedere altre foto che ho scattato nella citta’ spagnola:

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

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.

San Lorenzo, the Cathedral of Genoa

San Lorenzo, the Cathedral of Genoa.
San Lorenzo welcomes you in its majesty and with its typical Genoese colors.
A must-see for all tourists who come to visit the Superba also because it is exactly halfway between the Porto Antico (and the Aquarium) and Piazza De Ferrari.
I already have another post with several photos of the Cathedral (here) but they are a bit old (and not of excellent quality) while this one was taken with a wide angle.

Where is the Cathedral located:

According to archaeological findings, a stable Christian community was certainly present in the city of Genoa already in the middle of the third century and actually used the area of San Lorenzo as a burial place. The cemetery was, based on the material found, very probably already used in Roman times.

The facade of the Basilica dei Fieschi in Cogorno

The facade of the Basilica dei Fieschi.
In my opinion this is one of the most beautiful little churches in all of Liguria.
When I pass by San Salvatore, if I have time and a camera, I always try to stop by to take a couple of photos.

The Church of Sant’Antonio in Sestri Levante

The church of Sant’Antonio in Sestri Levante.
The church dedicated to the Saint of Padua, Anthony, in the center of Sestri Levante.
A modern church (of which there is even a website santantoniosestri.it) which I believe belongs to the most populous parish of the coastal town.

The hamlet of Pila sul Gromolo in Sestri Levante

The hamlet of Pila sul Gromolo in Sestri Levante.
Pila is a popular neighborhood of Sestri Levante. Popular because there are several apartment buildings built to house the many workers of the former FIT and the Naval Shipyard.
It is now a residential neighborhood in all respects.
The photo was taken from the heights of San Bernardo and you can see the soccer field (the Sivori A) where the Corsari, the local team, play, and next to it the modernist church of San Paolo in Pila.
The quality is not excellent because I was really far away and there was a lot of humidity, however I think it is a pleasant shot.
