The Swabian-Federician facade is beautiful with lava decoration which, together with the white marble inserts of the frames and the lattice, create a particular chromatic effect.

Due to the destruction caused by earthquakes and the renovations, the cathedral appears rather sparse. Without a doubt its historical value is of the first order, but very little remains of the Norman splendor. Its maintenance is also disappointing

The cathedral of San Bartolomeo is located in a particularly captivating area of ​​the historic center of Patti. From the churchyard it is possible to contemplate the valley sloping down towards the gulf of the city of the same name. The baroque pediment in lava stone alternating with tuff is of considerable value and inside there is a rose window with a modern stained glass window reproducing the stylized image of Christ with Hebrew inscriptions. Inside, in addition to the apse with marble altar and wooden choir, there is an ancient organ of fine workmanship restored and functioning.

A basilica with a splendid Norman façade. There is the tomb of Frederick II's grandmother. Baroque interior. Stunning landscape on the Aeolian Islands.

Truly a culturally rich place to visit with an important history. For me it was the first time. It is located on a panoramic hill that can be reached after walking through the streets of the village.

Rosenborg Castle

Rosenborg Palace was built in the period 1606-34 as Christian IV’s summerhouse just outside the ramparts of Copenhagen. Christian IV was very fond of the palace and often stayed at the castle when he resided in Copenhagen, and it was here that he died in 1648. After his death, the palace passed to his son King Frederik III, who together with his queen, Sophie Amalie, carried out several types of modernisation.

The last king who used the place as a residence was Frederik IV, and around 1720, Rosenborg was abandoned in favor of Frederiksborg Palace.Through the 1700s, considerable art treasures were collected at Rosenborg Castle, among other things items from the estates of deceased royalty and from Christiansborg after the fire there in 1794.

Soon the idea of a museum arose, and that was realised in 1833, which is The Royal Danish Collection’s official year of establishment.
