St Camillus de Lellis is buried here.
53 Piazza della Maddalena, in La Maddalena
He lived in a room at La Maddalena from 1586 to his death in 1614. The rooms where he lived are open to the public, and the room where he died is now a chapel containing his tomb.
St Michael's Paternoster Royal was famous for the burial of London's most famous mayor, Dick Whittington here in 1423, but the site of his grave has long since been lost. Destroyed along with so many others in the Great Fire of 1666, the church was rebuilt by Sir Christopher Wren between 1685-94 (steeple finished only in 1713). The church had the misfortune of being hit by a V1 rocket in 1944 and was left in ruins for two decades before becoming the last of the City churches to be restored in 1968.

The interior is slightly smaller than its pre-war form owing to the conversion of the west end into the Mission to Seafarers offices, but the restoration by Elidir Davies has been a great success, with several Wren period furnishings (from here and elsewhere) reinstated.
The most striking feature of the interior is the group of stained glass windows by John Hayward, with three vibrant east windows on the theme of the struggle between Good & Evil in the east wall and a further window commemorating Whittington on the south side.
St Michael's is a real gem, a charmingly restored Wren church with some impressive modern glass. It is normally open and welcoming 9am-5pm during weekdays
The ceiling of the Hypostyle Hall at Dendera Temple is enriched with an incredible amount of figurative detail carved in low relief and painted in subtle shades against a blue background. The subjects include numerous deities and hybrid figures (some familiar, others much less so) and even astrological elements, such as recognisable figures from the zodiac.
Over the centuries the ceiling had become so darkened by dirt and soot to become heavily obscured and hard to read, and this is how I saw it for the first time in the 1990s, when many visitors probably missed it altogether. Now it has been fully cleaned and restored it shines again not only as one of the glories of the temple but one of the most remarkable surviving decorative schemes of ancient Egypt. The contrast with its previous blackened, unrestored condition is dramatic, giving an entirely different impression from our previous visit.
The Temple of Hathor at Dendera is one of Egypt's best preserved and most beautiful ancient shrines. This magnificent edifice dates to the Ptolemaic period, late in Egyptian history, though the site long had been the cult centre for the goddess Hathor for centuries before (the earliest extant remains date to c360BC but a temple is recorded here as far back as c2250BC). Most of the main building dates to the reigns of the last Cleopatras and further decoration and building work within the complex continued in the Roman period up to the reign of Trajan.
The dominant structure in the complex is the Temple of Hathor, an enormous structure with a rectangular facade punctuated by the Hathor-headed columns of the hypostyle hall within. This hall is an architectural wonder, a masterpiece of ancient Egyptian design and decoration, which covers every surface and has been recently cleaned, revealing a superb astrological ceiling in all its original vibrant colours.
Sadly there was much iconoclasm here during the early Christian period and most of the reliefs of the walls and pillars have been defaced. Worse still is the damage to the 24 Hathor-head capitals: not one of the nearly a hundred huge faces of the goddess that once smiled down on this hall has been left unblemished, most with their features cruelly chiselled away.
The main temple building is otherwise structurally intact, and extends into further halls and chapels beyond, again with much relief decoration (much of which is again defaced). In one corner is an entrance to a crypt below, an unusual feature in Egyptian temple architecture consisting of several narrow passages adorned with carved relief decoration in good condition.
There are further sanctuaries and chapels above on the roof of the temple, accessed by a decorated staircase and including the room where the famous Dendera Zodiac was formerly located (today its place in the ceiling taken by a cast of the original, now displayed in Paris). The highest part of the roof complex is no longer accessible to tourists, but I can still recall making the ascent there on our first visit in 1992.
Several other buildings surround the main temple, the most impressive of which is the mammisi or 'birth-house'. This consists of a large rectangluar hall surrounded by a colonnade near the entrance to the site and has some well preserved relief decoration on its exterior. Most of this structure dates to the Roman period, but the ruins of its predecessor built under Nectanebo II (Egypt's last native pharoah) stand nearby.
Dendera temple is one of the most rewarding in Egypt and shouldn't be missed. It is one of the most complete and evocative ancient monuments in the country and its recent restoration has revealed a surprisingly extensive amount of colour surviving within (we were amazed by the dramatic contrast with the soot-blackened ceiling we'd beheld on our previous visit in the 1990s). Despite its relative youth (in Egyptian terms at least!) it is easily one of my favourite sites in Egypt.
Part of the magnificent ceiling at St Michael and All Angels Church in Great Witley, Worcestershire. Many of the paintings are by Italian Rococo painter Antonio Bellucci. The chuch has been described as the Sistine Chapel of the north.
One of the many painted ceilings in the Vatican. This one is actually a small dome, though it doesn't really show up well in 2D.
The ceiling of the Nikolaikirche. I was stunned when I saw that and the rich ornaments on the pillars.

Stramit Board or compressed straw ceiling panels at St Elizabeth's Primary School in Dandenong North southeast of Melbourne.
The ceiling system has been used for decades for public buildings, some commercial buildings and even occasionally private residences. The panels are formed by compressing straw under heat until the individual lengths fuse together from the resins released by the process. The system proved popular owing to the lightweight panels being strong enough to be used in long lengths reducing the steel framework support system required. In addition they provided good thermal and acoustic insulation.
Stramit Board ceilings were popular at Melbourne schools from the 1970s onwards including this which was built in the late 1970's with extensions in the 1980's. Nearby Nazareth College designed by the same architect used the same system.
I love this ceiling, it is just incredibly beautiful. I have been wanting to go back and shoot it again for quite some time. I was just a little off center, but I am getting closer to just the shot I want. This shot was triple exposed and tone mapped in photomatix, I also played with it a little in lightroom. This is why HDR is so beneficial, the originals show no where near the detail this shot does.
The lights you see are a chandelier and this is the info from the brochure I took last night: A chandelier weighing 6,000 lb (2,700 kg) hangs from the rotunda of the central dome. The chain supporting it weighs an additional 7,000 lb (3,200 kg).
You are doing yourself and this photo a disservice if you dont View On Black.
