La Madonna dormiente è il pezzo forte di questa cattedrale che comunque è meravigliosa; anche il mosaico alle spalle dell'altare è veramente meraviglioso.

Church well kept. Passing on Sunday I was able to attend a piece of the mass, where there is a very good choir.

Beautiful cathedral with an important facade and interesting portal. Very nice interior. It is located in the historic center of Squillace which is one of the most beautiful and scenic villages in the province of Catanzaro and the whole of Calabria.

The cathedral combines as an attractive tourist destination when visiting Squillace with the long and historically significant development of the city and region. From the square in front of the cathedral, the fantastic urban structure and the landscape, integrated architecture and dimensions, are revealed. Here, in the context of further discoveries in Squillace, history can be experienced. The interior has conveyed the spirit of religious identity and is entirely appropriate to the character of the cathedral's significance.

Château du Lude

The Château du Lude is one of the many great châteaux of the Loire Valley in France. Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
