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.

Yes Marco, really spectacular this inside. To Think that for years remained almost unknown, in fact, the church, annexed to the cloister was accessible only to a few and recently opened to mass tourism.
Today presents itself in the state of use of the nuns as they have left and therefore retains all the charm of the "preserved"
Glad you enjoyed this image.
Thank You so much for your ride.
Good Sunday
Sergio

Nice shot and beautiful church. In this case I would advise you in PP to add the drooping lines. For this, it is better in the shooting phase to leave more space on top. Also always in PP I would have given a selective heater to the colors at the top ;-) I love the interior shots of the churches :-P
Interesting caption ;-)

Thank you, thank you very much Rinaldo, I'm happy for your suggestions, I'm here to improve and well come the advice.
Unfortunately in p.p. I'm not very good and, being self-taught, every time I set out to learn a new passage is a struggle! :-o I was also pleased with the suggestion, during the recovery, to leave space superiorly. I didn't know this gimmick, but I can tell you why.
Thank you for appreciating your photo and caption.
Good weekend
Sergio

This church is really amazing. I visited her a first time and it struck me, so I came back, "armed" with tripod that luckily they allowed me to use
Thank you very much
Good evening :-P

Thank you Roberto, I'm glad you liked this picture.
The church is a spectacle, in the shot I was benefited by a previous visit and that no one objected to me in the use of the tripod.
Thank a thousand for the compliments too.
A warm greeting and good Sunday

Hello Werner. Happy you liked the image dedicated to this church.
Closed until a few years ago and preserved from the enclosure, it is also fascinating for the appearance of "preserved, in a state of use"
A dear greeting and good Sunday
Sergio
