There is an original church in Racalmuto Sicily. The church has not a roof - so it means it was not finished in the past. Unfortunately I don't know anymore about this unique building. I am going to call my friend and write later.
The church dates back from 17th century
Madonna of Montes from Racalmuto- all pictures were made by residents of Racalmuto. It is possible to see them in local museum. About Madonna I wrote in my previous posts.
Do you think it may have once had a roof that was destroyed?
ReplyDeleteIt was definitely built without roof
DeleteIt would be interesting to know more about the church without a roof.
ReplyDeleteThat is very interesting about this church without a roof...
ReplyDeleteVery nice photos.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a neat church! I'd love to see the view from up in the bell tower!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to more details.
ReplyDeleteAs Sicily can be so hot, maybe the roof was left
off for cooling reasons. I am sure all sacred like
items in the church would have been covered from the
wrath of the elements, so a roofless church I think is
feasible.
Did you find the information on the Chinese Cemetery in Manila.
the Philippines???
The Lawn War cemetery is also worth a look. You can google that.
It is most impressive.

Colin I have seen a Chinese cementary in Manila really impressive
Deletemasterpiece
They removed the roofs from the churches in the UK when they become unsafe or the church is not used any more. Seems so odd to build a church and not finish it.
ReplyDeleteNow I know the diodn't have enough money
DeleteBardzo piękne.
ReplyDeletethanks
DeletePerhaps the congregation ran out of money before they got to topping it off with a roof! Lovely embroidery.
ReplyDeleteCynthia you are right it was the reason
