Locri Cathedral

Locri, Italy

Locri Cathedral was built in 1933 by order of Mgr. Giorgio Delrio, bishop of Gerace (1906-1920). It represents the Lombard Romanesque style.

The interior, on a Latin cross groundplan, has three aisles: the two side aisles terminate in small chapels. The central part of the north aisle contains a marble sculpture depicting Bishop Francesco Saverio Mangeruva (1872-1905) and the sarcophagus of Bishop Michele Alberto Arduino (1962-1972).

Seen from the outside it is Simple .... in any case it is always the House of the Lord and it is the fold of the sheep yes Jesus alive and ALWAYS present

The Cathedral is under renovation. But if we try to imagine the interior on the basis of the already completed facade, it will be a masterpiece. Finally a Cathedral will be "returned" to Locri. Thanks to those who made it possible ....

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.
