La chiesa di Santa Caterina d'Alessandria d'Egitto è un edificio di culto situato nel centro storico di Palermo. Fa parte dell'aggregato monumentale altrimenti noto localmente, come “Chiesa di Santa Caterina delle Donne”, unitamente al trecentesco monastero domenicano L'impianto della chiesa è a unica navata con tre cappelle per lato, si sviluppa longitudinalmente ed è attraversato dal transetto su cui si innesta la cupola. Ciò che colpisce di più è la ricca decorazione dell'interno, tipico dell'età della Controriforma. La decorazione degli spazi interni, così come per molte altre chiese palermitane, è costituita da un sontuoso apparato in marmi mischi e tramischi, stucchi ed affreschi che si fondono, in un'unica armonica lettura, con le strutture architettoniche portanti. L'altare maggiore è realizzato in pietre dure, agate grigie e verdi, con ornamenti in rame dorato su progetto di Andrea Palma. Il paliotto , anch'esso in pietre dure con sepolcro della madre badessa suor Maria del Carretto del 1598: colei che promosse i lavori di rinnovamento. Ai lati sono presenti due splendidi angeli lignei dorati con vesti e ali laminate in argento. Il monastero destinato in principio alle semplici donne meretrici, solo verso il XVI secolo per magnificenza e ricchezza diviene uno dei monasteri nobiliari e di clausura, più importanti del territorio palermitano. Il fasto e la grandezza della chiesa esterna dovevano significare la potenza del Papato, nel caso specifico di tutto il complesso di Santa Caterina, altri due elementi in più: la nobiltà, il censo, il rango, il blasone delle monache e il fatto che la chiesa ubicata al centro della città, doveva essere all'altezza del luogo Il ruolo religioso e caritatevole del gruppo monacale di Santa Caterina è ben noto ai palermitani, soprattutto ai più anziani, che continuano a mantenere vivo il ricordo dei sapori dei dolci tipici siciliani, che le suore usavano produrre nei giorni di festa. Il complesso monumentale, in uso alle monache di clausura, è visitabile solo recentemente -------Tutte le foto contenute in queste gallerie sono copyright Sergio Bartolomeo e non possono essere utilizzate in alcuna forma senza il consenso dell'autore.

Thanks Marisa!
I'm glad you enjoyed this church interior dedicated to a saint and lived by the cloistered nuns who lived in the adjoining monastery.
Famous also for the sweets they prepared and that they sold to the Palermitans, to earn something and sustain themselves.
Hello
happy with your passagio.

Thanks Sebastiano, this shot benefited from the first visit made to this church, so the second, I went equipped and determined to get shots that could do justice to this spectacular church.

Always difficult to realize these shots, and for the sanctity of the place and the obvious presence of the faithful (or simple visitors) that do not give the tranquility necessary for the photographer to take home the photo....
Here you have done great, but you have to tell me where you managed to hide the tripod, here we will flout you alive if you place it in church or in a museum.... :-D
Congratulations!

Thanks Mario, very pleased you liked this shot.
I had already visited this monumental complex, visiting, the first time, especially the monastery and the terraces, the interior church I had seen through the lattices reserved, at the time, the nuns of cloistered and I had been enchanted.
The next visit I wanted to come prepared and so I brought the tripod into his bag. In the whole operation: input, positioning and shooting, in fact no one has challenged me. It was also a not too busy time.
Thanks for the appreciation, even to the caption.

Thanks Mario, I also tried a vertical shot that also showed the roof, decorated him too, but at the end preferred this vision that, in my opinion, makes more justice to the prospect.
