Chiesa di San Michele

This is the church of Saint Michael in Savoca, Sicily.
It is old, beautiful and crumbling.
(For more info on the church: Save the Soul of Savoca)
The church dates to the middle ages and was the church of the Castle of Savoca.

Large blue canvases.
With footprints all over them? 

A large part of the small church is in great disrepair. I was very happy to see that they are trying to repair and save the church.

There are paintings all through the structure.
Some are in better shape than others.
Check the website (Save the Soul of Savoca)
 To see many more of the paintings
 and the work that they are doing to save it.

There were several burial markers on the floor of the church.

I was delighted to see the details of the wooden ceiling.

We spent a lovely afternoon walking around Savoca.

Touring the Savoca area

We walked past this( terra-cotta?) relief while walking from one church to another in Savoca.

I was fascinated by the various textures of the walls and streets.

Walking by someones home.

The crumbling ruins were along the walkway between shops and homes.
