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.

Shooting fruit of experimentation with the 8-15, particular objective.
Guessed that the scenario could be suitable, the result is your appreciation.
Thank You so much for your favorable words.
