Sacrario di “Cristo Re” Il tempio fu edificato sui resti del castello di Matagrifone del quale è rimasta, inglobata alla base, una delle torri. Progettato da Giovanni Battista Milani nel 1937, troneggia sulla città con la sua grande cupola e le sue forme richiamano l'architettura del messinese Filippo Juvara, ed in particolare la basilica di Superga a Torino. L'edificio in stile barocco si presenta a forma ottagonale irregolare con una grande cupola segnata da otto costoloni alla base dei quali vi sono otto statue di bronzo, opere di Teofilo Raggio, raffiguranti le tre virtù teologali: Fede, Speranza e Carità; le quattro virtù cardinali: Prudenza, Giustizia, Fortezza e Temperanza, per ultima la virtù allegoria della Religione che le comprende tutte. Sulla cupola vi è collocata una lanterna alta sei metri ed una palla del diametro di un metro sulla quale sopra si erge la croce. Nella scalinata d'ingresso è collocata la statua di Cristo Re, opera eseguita da Tore Edmondo Calabrò. Sul portale le allegorie dell'Europa e di Messina. Il sacrario custodisce i resti di 1288 caduti del secondo conflitto mondiale, 161 gli ignoti, gran parte dei quali rimasti uccisi durante la difesa della Sicilia, e di 110 caduti del primo conflitto mondiale. Il tempio superiore presenta un altare barocco, una cappella dedicata alla Vergine e un balcone ottagonale con vista sul tempio inferiore. Il tempio inferiore è caratterizzato da colonne doriche con capitelli corinzi disposte ad ottagono, all'interno del quale, in posizione centrale e visibile dal livello superiore, è collocato un sarcofago marmoreo sul quale è distesa una figura di soldato opera di Antonio Bonfiglio. È inoltre presente una lapide in ricordo dei marinai caduti nella battaglia navale di Punta Stilo del 9 luglio 1940, nelle pareti migliaia di loculi ospitano i resti dei caduti delle due guerre mondiali. Sulla torre ottagonale è collocata una campana di 2,80 metri del peso di 130 quintali ricavata dalla fusione del bronzo dei cannoni nemici sottratti durante la guerra del 1915 - 18. Terza campana d'Italia per grandezza. Dal belvedere antistante intitolato a Giovanni Angelo Montorsoli si gode un magnifico panorama dello Stretto e della città.----Tutte le foto contenute in queste gallerie sono copyright Sergio Bartolomeo e non possono essere utilizzate in alcuna forma senza il consenso dell'autore.

You have made spectacular, through a beautiful and well-crafted recovery for both the optics used for both the shutter time and the technique used, a place that would otherwise have appeared maybe just normal. Great blue hour and beautiful lights. The caption is interesting and it is read with interest. Congratulations, Sergio.

Thanks John, thanks 1000, I was very pleased to read your detailed analysis to this shot and as you noticed, this shot was thought and realized with a precise project. It is also true that this shrine undergoes the "rivalry" of the Belvedere at his feet that steals the part of the protagonist. Shrine and tower are also not open if not in a few hours a day, while the Belvedere is crowded at any time of day and night.
