San Dalmazzo Church

Turin, Italy

The church on the site of current San Dalmazzo is documented from the 11th century, but the present church was reconstructed in 1702. In 1885 the interior was redecorated in neo-gothic style. Adjacent to the church is the former convent and school of the Barnabite order. From 1271 to 1606, the church had been linked to the Order of Canons Regular of Sant'Antonio of Vienne, but then was transferred along with the convent to the Barnabites.

The nave was painted by Enrico Reffo in 1895–1916. The interior also contains 18th century canvases and an antique baptismal font.

Between 1629 and 1631 the chapel of the Madonna of Loreto was built, imitating the Casa Santa (Holy House), which contains an icon related to Marian Apparitions.

Beautiful church unfortunately closed for some time. I had the opportunity to attend a concert by a Gospel choir "Si Fa Soul Singers" performed for charity in favor of flood victims in Emilia Romagna. Excellent acoustics.

The church of San Dalmazzo surprises for its ancient beauty, do not miss the opportunity to visit it.
Giorgio Ricciotti (6 years ago)
On the outside, the church appears in a fully Baroque style at the beginning of the eighteenth century: Corinthian pilasters, arranged on two levels, frame the windows that illuminate the interior and the central portal. A last upper central body, with a fresco in the center, is crowned by a semicircular tympanum and connected to the rest of the front by volutes. On the left, half-hidden by a building overlooking the street, there is the bell tower. The interior develops on a plan with three naves with a transept, all characterized by the nineteenth-century neo-Gothic mantle, traceable for example in the newsstands, in the pulpit, in the ciborium and in the Paschal candle.

Celje Castle

Celje Castle was once the largest fortification on Slovenian territory. The first fortified building on the site (a Romanesque palace) was built in the first half of the 13th century by the Counts of Heunburg from Carinthia on the stony outcrop on the western side of the ridge where the castle stands. It had five sides, or four plus the southern side, which was a natural defence. The first written records of the castle date back to between 1125 and 1137; it was probably built by Count Gunter. In the western section of the castle, there was a building with several floors. Remains of the walls of this palatium have survived. In the eastern section, there was an enclosed courtyard with large water reservoirs. The eastern wall, which protects the castle from its most exposed side, was around three metres thicker than the rest of the curtain wall. The wall was topped with a parapet and protected walkway.
