La Madonna dormiente è il pezzo forte di questa cattedrale che comunque è meravigliosa; anche il mosaico alle spalle dell'altare è veramente meraviglioso.

Church well kept. Passing on Sunday I was able to attend a piece of the mass, where there is a very good choir.

Beautiful cathedral with an important facade and interesting portal. Very nice interior. It is located in the historic center of Squillace which is one of the most beautiful and scenic villages in the province of Catanzaro and the whole of Calabria.

The cathedral combines as an attractive tourist destination when visiting Squillace with the long and historically significant development of the city and region. From the square in front of the cathedral, the fantastic urban structure and the landscape, integrated architecture and dimensions, are revealed. Here, in the context of further discoveries in Squillace, history can be experienced. The interior has conveyed the spirit of religious identity and is entirely appropriate to the character of the cathedral's significance.

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.
