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.

Beautiful and particular representation with the Fisheye. Excellent the management of lights that contrast beautifully between those moving cars that represent the hectic life and the real, statuary of the shrine. Two different worlds that live together. also excellent colors.

Hello Kitty, a dear greeting to you and thanks for the rapidity in commenting on this photo.
a shot that long ago I had run in the rain, but the wet road and rain, instead of making the shot more suggestive, created too much confusion, so I tried again, with the dry and seems to be better.
Thanks 1000 for your comment, glad you enjoyed and glad that this shot brings you pleasant memories

Thanks Stefano, I really like your reading of this image which by the way mirrors the reality. As written in the caption, the shrine rises higher than the Belvedere, from where I took it.
is a crowded place even in the evenings, especially for the superb view. In such frenzy, the shrine, solemn, hangs over silent, in fact it is open to the public only in the morning.
Thank you for your fine words.

Thanks Claudio, the fisheye is a lens that can give suggestive images.
In This case I decided to interpret this monument with this goal, not for a need for space, I could very well take it again with a "normal" focal, but I liked to contextualize it. The cornering road has been the deformation of this objective. Of course, the monument resulted in a not too didactic perspective and the deformation would not be good for an architecture guide, but I did not want a picture too obvious.
pleased with your appreciation.
Hello, thanks 1000

Thank you Apresti.
Glad you liked this shot, as already written in a previous comment, I had attempted this shot on a rainy day and at night, but then I preferred to try at dusk, with a sky that was not too dark.
In fact, as you noticed, the colors obtained, are more interesting and the cars more frequent than In the middle of the night, helped me to compose more representative trails.
Hello, thanks 1000

Thank you, Guglielmo. I actually stole the idea from you. You have already published a very nice photo of this monument and I have similar, from where I live, I own the point of view similar to the one you proposed.
As already written, I tried to improve a composition that I had already tried long ago, with the result in vision that I like and I'm glad you liked it too.
I continue to enrich this gallery of images dedicated to our city, not too well-known and still has reasons of interest.
Hello
Thanks 1000

Very, very nice for proper use of fisheye, colors, composition and lighting management.
The PDR then, confers that right grandeur to the shrine.
Icing on the cake: the excellent caption.
Congratulations.

Thanks Eus, very rewarding your nice comment to this shot, I'm really glad you liked it.
Thanks also for the always welcome congratulations. The caption is a fair tribute to this monument that has its own grandeur, not so much because of its greatness as a building, but for its position, dominant and visible from almost the entire city.
Thanks 1000
