Beautiful church and had 2 extremely nice people try to help me find if my grandmother stayed there in 1900 in the convent.

Nice facade. Inside, not easy to find, is the tomb of Queen Adelasia

To get there you climb several stone stairs from the center to the cathedral, but once you reach the top you enter a large square overlooking the mountains and the sea, with a view of the Aeolian islands. The show leaves you breathless, wonderful. Unfortunately the church was closed but the exterior is truly impressive. Absolutely worth visiting

The Swabian-Federician facade is beautiful with lava decoration which, together with the white marble inserts of the frames and the lattice, create a particular chromatic effect.

Due to the destruction caused by earthquakes and the renovations, the cathedral appears rather sparse. Without a doubt its historical value is of the first order, but very little remains of the Norman splendor. Its maintenance is also disappointing

Temple of Edfu

The Temple of Edfu is one of the best preserved ancient shrines in Egypt. It was built in the Ptolemaic Kingdom between 237 and 57 BC.

Edfu was one of several temples built during the Ptolemaic Kingdom, including the Dendera Temple complex, Esna, the Temple of Kom Ombo, and Philae. Its size reflects the relative prosperity of the time. The present temple initially consisted of a pillared hall, two transverse halls, and a barque sanctuary surrounded by chapels. The building was started during the reign of Ptolemy III Euergetes and completed in 57 BC under Ptolemy XII Auletes. It was built on the site of an earlier, smaller temple also dedicated to Horus, although the previous structure was oriented east–west rather than north–south as in the present site.
