SAN MICHELE ARCANGELO

Abruzzo Day 2 – 17th April.

Best viewed large, if you have time. Thank you.

The shots in this collage are of the Collegiate Church of San Michele Arcangelo – Saint Michael the Arcangel - in Citta’ Sant’Angelo which we visited on our second day in the province of Abruzzo, Italy..
Pictures are:
• Left row - the portal which dates from the 14th century
• Middle row top and middle – close-ups of the sculptures on the portal
• Middle row bottom – colonnaded side of the church
• Top right – close-up of the statue of St Michael crushing the devil on top of the portal
• Right row – general view of the church with the bell tower.

Since it was Maundy Thursday, I remembered that I hadn’t bought Christine (my wife) a present for Easter. Our next stop after the Citta’ San’t Angelo was to be a mega shopping mall and so I said to myself ‘Either buy her present from there or there will be no present at all this year’. Tomorrow, if you are interested I will show you what I bought her.

Thank you very much for looking and for your wonderful comments and the fav’s on yesterday’s picture.

This,is almost better than being there! But the good photographs perhaps mean much more than the tourist photograph!

The carvings have great character, and I particularly like the shot which is in the middle, third one down, colonnaded side of the church. So interesting. Wouldn't mind see that one full size.
