"Pompeian Ionic" from the entrance to the Basilica of Pompeii.
The dating of the basilica is not certain: ca. 120-100 BCE.
The building is charming and likeable in its hardworking color scheme of beige, brown, orange, and green, with white vertical blinds. It gets negated, humiliated, by a slash symbol of utility pole guywires.

Got these shots of 65 Church Street from the footbridge that goes over Great Charles Street Queensway (and links Ludgate Hill and Church Street by foot)
I don't know much about this building but it might have been built in 1908, or it may date to the Victorian era.
On one search I found this ...

According to its style, the Ionic capital was carved during the last decades of the 6th century BC. However, the inscription on the abacus was cut during the 4th century, when the capital was dedicated by Dokimos, son of Neokreon, as a monumental offering marking the tomb of Archilochos—the revered Parian poet who lived during the 7th century BC. The capital belonged to a freestanding column that supported a statue, perhaps of a sphinx. Archaeological Museum in Paroikia, Paros.

Cypriot Greek Architechtural Support Column
The major features of the Ionic order are the volutes of its capital, which have been the subject of much theoretical and practical discourse, based on a brief and obscure passage in Vitruvius. The only tools required were a straight-edge, a right angle, string (to establish half-lengths) and a compass. Below the volutes, the Ionic column may have a wide collar or banding separating the capital from the fluted shaft, Or a swag of fruit and flowers may swing from the clefts formed by the volutes, or from their "neck."

"Bailey's Mansion" is a magnificent boom period mansion built in 1883 for successful mine manager William Bailey on the corner of Drummond and Mair Streets, in the provincial Victorian city of Ballarat.
William Bailey was born in 1827 in Wellington, Somersetshire, and came to Australia in 1848. He landed at Melbourne and was employed at a wine and spirit merchants however he remained only a short time, and he also had a short stay of eight months at the Ampitheatre Station, Lexton, when he was made manager at the Mt Cook Station, Werribee. He left Mt Cook Station in 1851, having been bitten, like so many others, by gold fever. After initially being involved in mining he entered into partnership with Wilson Brothers in the operation of general stores. Bailey returned to mining with the Staffordshire Reef Company near Smythesdale where he remained for three years as manager before accepting a similar managerial position with the Egerton Mining Company where he was occupied for the next 12 years. The mine was owned by the renowned Learmonth family. Bailey was a loyal manager and when the Learmonths decided to sell the mine he arranged the sale. As a reward the Learmonths paid him a five per cent commission on the sale amounting to 675 pounds, a very sizable sum even in those days. At the time of the sale the returns from the mine had been diminishing, and when the Learmonths paid him his sizeable commission they were unaware that they had rewarded him for arranging the sale of a mine of which he was actually now a part owner. Fortunately, almost immediately after the mine was sold its returns increased dramatically and William Bailey was left a very wealthy man.
For the princely sum of £1,400, William Bailey had a Victorian Italianate mansion, complete with tower, designed by architects Caselli and Figgis. William Bailey and his wife Emily had eight children between 1861 and 1876, so the mansion, described as "one of the most palatial homes in Ballarat" was extended further and had an extra wing added, but in the same style.
The mansion features many architectural elements used in Italianate style houses of the period beyond the typical prominent tower, including; Corinthian columns, arcaded loggias, grouped openings, the use of arches and stuccoed wall treatment. When William built the mansion it originally had cast iron verandah posts, frieze and corner brackets along the loggias, both up and downstairs. The present heavy Ionic columns being a later modification which are not so in keeping with the overall design of the house.
Originally, "Bailey's Mansion" sat amid large and decoratively ornamental gardens, most of which have since been consumed by subsequent divisions of the land and residential construction in the early years of the Twentieth Century.
It was in his beloved mansion that William Bailey died in 1906 after catching a chill, dying a happy and still wealthy man, leaving an estate of some £10,000.
After the Great War (1914 - 1918), like so many other wealthy families of the boom period, the Baileys "gilded age" had come to a shattering end. Rates, death duties and income tax had deminished the family to far more moderate means. The "servant problem" also left them unable to live on such a grand scale as William and Emily had done. They could not sell the mansion, as no-one had the means to maintain, or the wish, to live in an old mausoleum of a bygone age in the new century. There was also a local belief that it was haunted by Bailey's ghost, which made it impossible to sell. "Bailey's Mansion", now deserted, fell into dereliction.
Salvation arrived for the grand old house in 1915 when the Catholic Church acquired it for a mere £4000, £10,000 less than its original cost and a bargain, even in the depressed property market immediately after the First World War. The church restored "Bailey's Mansion" and used it to form the St John of God hospital in Ballarat. It is still an intergal part of the hospital today, the grande dame surviving as a testimony to the wealth and tenacity of its original owner.

The Masonic Hall of the Grand Lodge of the Free & Accepted Masons of the State of New York, located at 71-79 West 23rd Street and 46-54 West 24th Street, was built from 1910-1912 by architect Harry P. Knowles. A thorough renovation in the early 1990's was completed under designer Felix Chavez.
Masonic Hall includes twelve Lodge rooms, decorated and adorned in unique styles. The auditorium-style Grand Lodge Hall on the 3rd and 4th floors seats 1,200 people, and is the meeting place for the Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge. The 14th floor contains the Masonic Library, and the 17th floor contains the Office Suite of the Grand. The building is also home to commercial tenants.
The Grand Lodge of New York (GLoNY), founded on December 15, 1782, is one of 29 independent organizations of Freemasons in the U.S. state of New York. It was at one time the largest grand lodge in the world in terms of membership. Freemasonry is a fraternal organization that arose from obscure origins in the late 16th to early 17th century. Freemasonry now exists in various forms all over the world, with a membership estimated at around six million. the fraternity is organized into independent Grand Lodges, or Grand Orients, each of which governs its own jurisdiction, which consists of subordinate (or constituent) Lodges.
The Mail Exchange Building's Ionic columned façade on the Spencer Street facáde, Melbourne, Australia.
Built in 1917 for postal use, it's now a non-accommodation hotel/bar venue for drinks and dining only on the lower floor. So what uses the upper floors have been put to, I've yet to find out.
Post Script:
Further information taken from the history provided and quoted from the Mail Exchange Hotel's web site: www.mailexchangehotel.com.au/
"A building steeped in history.
The Mail Exchange building has two significant histories.
The early history of the site, prior to the erection of the building, where Robert Hoddle acquired the land from the Crown and constructed a two-storey Georgian home and gardens and lived in, until his death in 1881.
Robert Hoddle was the first Surveyor-General of Victoria and is credited with the physical layout of the streets of inner Melbourne, these days referred to as 'the Hoddle Grid'.
Hoddle acquired the land in 1837 after he conducted the first public auction of crown land in Victoria under instruction from Sir Richard Bourke, the Governor of New South Wales, the namesake of Bourke Street and the man who named our city 'Melbourne', after, the British Prime Minister.
The second and more recent history is the now restored Mail Exchange building and its use by its then-owner, the Post Master General’s Department.
The site was acquired from the descendants of Robert Hoddle at the turn of the Century and construction on the Mail Exchange Building began in 1913. It was completed four years later in 1917.
Designed by Commonwealth Home Affairs architect John Smith Murdoch (1862 - 1945). Murdoch was Australia’s first Commonwealth Government architect and went on to design the Old Parliament House, completed in 1927.
Originally built to relieve the congestion at the nearby Melbourne GPO on the corner of Elizabeth and Bourke Streets, it was a conscious effort to modernise the postal system in the early 20th Century.
Over the years, the building has been known as the Chief Parcels Office, the Parcels Post Building, the Postal Workshops, even for a period (1917 - 1964), as the General Post Office.
Subsequently, it became the Melbourne Mail Centre and more recently, the Mail Exchange, the signage of which, is still clearly identifiable on both facades.
The building was administered by the Post Master General’s Department until 1975, when the Department was separated into Telecom (now Telstra) and Australia Post.
When Australia Post vacated the building, it was subsequently acquired in the mid-1980s as the headquarters for the Figgins Shoe empire.
With the eventual relocation of the Figgins Group in 2006, restoration became possible and the building underwent a progressive and significant, internal and external upgrade, which culminated in the final element - the Mail Exchange Hotel - which opened October 2010 in a brand new entrance at 688 Bourke Street".

"The United States Post Office (also known as the Old Federal Building) at 209 East Portage Avenue in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, is an historic building which has served various purposes since its construction in the early 20th century. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 9, 1977.
In 1822, Fort Brady was constructed on this site. In 1893, Federal troops abandoned the fort in favor of new location closer to the center of the Soo canal. The old fort site was reserved for the construction of a public building, and was used as a public commons until 1908, when Congress appropriated $150,000 for the construction of this Federal Building.
The building was constructed in 1909-1910 of limestone from a Bedford, Indiana quarry, using a design by James Knox Taylor, then Supervising Architect of the U.S. Treasury. It served for decades as a post office and a courthouse of the United States District Court for the Western District of Michigan, with the court meeting there from 1912 until 1941.
In 1992, the Sault Foundation for Culture and History acquired the building from the government, which had built a new facility for the courts, and converted it into the River of History Museum. This facility was to preserve and promote "the history of the St. Mary's River system". On July 1, 2009, the museum relocated, moving its exhibits to a new site. As of 2010, the building was renovated for use as office space as the City Hall.
The Old Federal Building is a rectangular three story limestone Renaissance Revival structure on a raised granite foundation. It measures 64 feet by 103 feet, and is seven bays wide. The first floor is built of smooth coursed limestone with horizontal recessed joints, above which is a carved frieze. On the main facade, the two upper floors are of plain limestone block, with Ionic columns running the full height of the second and third floors, framing the central five-bay fenestration. Slightly receding bats are on either side. An ornamental cornice tops the facade, above which is a low tin hipped roof.
Sault Ste. Marie (/ˌsuː seɪnt məˈriː/ SOO-seint-ma-REE) is the only city in, and county seat of, Chippewa County in the U.S. state of Michigan. With a population of 14,144 at the 2010 census, it is the second-most populated city in the Upper Peninsula after Marquette. It is the central city of the Sault Ste. Marie, MI Micropolitan Statistical Area, which encompasses all of Chippewa County and had a population of 38,520 at the 2010 census.
Sault Ste. Marie was settled as early as 1668, which makes it Michigan's oldest city and among the oldest cities in the United States. Located at the northeastern edge of the Upper Peninsula, it is separated by the St. Marys River from the much-larger city of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. The two are connected by the Sault Ste. Marie International Bridge, which represents the northern terminus of Interstate 75. This portion of the river also contains the Soo Locks, as well as a swinging railroad bridge. The city is also home to Lake Superior State University.
For centuries Ojibwe (Chippewa) Native Americans had lived in the area, which they referred to as Baawitigong ("at the cascading rapids"), after the rapids of St. Marys River. French colonists renamed the region Saulteaux ("rapids" in French).
In 1668, French missionaries Claude Dablon and Jacques Marquette founded a Jesuit mission at this site. Sault Ste. Marie developed as the fourth-oldest European city in the United States west of the Appalachian Mountains, and the oldest permanent settlement in contemporary Michigan state. On June 4, 1671, Simon-François Daumont de Saint-Lusson, a colonial agent, was dispatched from Quebec to the distant tribes, proposing a congress of Indian nations at the Falls of St. Mary between Lake Huron and Lake Superior. Trader Nicolas Perrot helped attract the principal chiefs, and representatives of 14 Indigenous nations were invited for the elaborate ceremony. The French officials proclaimed France's appropriation of the immense territory surrounding Lake Superior in the name of King Louis XIV.
In the 18th century, the settlement became an important center of the fur trade, when it was a post for the British-owned North West Company, based in Montreal. The fur trader John Johnston, a Scots-Irish immigrant from Belfast, was considered the first European settler in 1790. He married a high-ranking Ojibwe woman named Ozhaguscodaywayquay, the daughter of a prominent chief, Waubojeeg. She also became known as Susan Johnston. Their marriage was one of many alliances in the northern areas between high-ranking European traders and Ojibwe. The family was prominent among Native Americans, First Nations, and Europeans from both Canada and the United States. They had eight children who learned fluent Ojibwe, English and French. The Johnstons entertained a variety of trappers, explorers, traders, and government officials, especially during the years before the War of 1812 between Britain and the United States.
For more than 140 years, the settlement was a single community under French colonial, and later, British colonial rule. After the War of 1812, a US–UK Joint Boundary Commission finally fixed the border in 1817 between the Michigan Territory of the US and the British Province of Upper Canada to follow the river in this area. Whereas traders had formerly moved freely through the whole area, the United States forbade Canadian traders from operating in the United States, which reduced their trade and disrupted the area's economy. The American and Canadian communities of Sault Ste. Marie were each incorporated as independent municipalities toward the end of the 19th century.
As a result of the fur trade, the settlement attracted Ojibwe and Ottawa, Métis, and ethnic Europeans of various nationalities. It was a two-tiered society, with fur traders (who had capital) and their families and upper-class Ojibwe in the upper echelon. In the aftermath of the War of 1812, however, the community's society changed markedly.
The U.S. built Fort Brady near the settlement, introducing new troops and settlers, mostly Anglo-American. The UK and the US settled on a new northern boundary in 1817, dividing the US and Canada along St. Mary's River. The US prohibited British fur traders from operating in the United States. After completion of the Erie Canal in New York State in 1825 (expanded in 1832), the number of settlers migrating to Ohio and Michigan increased dramatically from New York and New England, bringing with them the Yankee culture of the Northern Tier. Their numbers overwhelmed the cosmopolitan culture of the earlier settlers. They practiced more discrimination against Native Americans and Métis.
The falls proved a choke point for shipping between the Great Lakes. Early ships traveling to and from Lake Superior were portaged around the rapids[8] in a lengthy process (much like moving a house) that could take weeks. Later, only the cargoes were unloaded, hauled around the rapids, and then loaded onto other ships waiting below the rapids. The first American lock, the State Lock, was built in 1855; it was instrumental in improving shipping. The lock has been expanded and improved over the years.
In 1900, Northwestern Leather Company opened a tannery in Sault Ste. Marie. The tannery was founded to process leather for the upper parts of shoes, which was finer than that for soles. After the factory closed in 1958, the property was sold to Filborn Limestone, a subsidiary of Algoma Steel Corporation.
In March 1938 during the Great Depression, Sophia Nolte Pullar bequeathed $70,000 for construction of the Pullar Community Building, which opened in 1939. This building held an indoor ice rink composed of artificial ice, then a revolutionary concept. The ice rink is still owned by the city." - info from Wikipedia.

O poder da água
Pense no último passeio que deu à beira-mar e no que sentiu quando as ondas, com a sua energia, tocaram os seus pés. A sua respiração ficou mais fácil, o seu espírito mais claro, em paz, o seu corpo em harmonia com a terra sentiu-se rejuvenescer. Estas sensações devem-se aos efeitos positivos de milhões de moléculas de água rebentando à sua volta.
Desintoxicação Iónica através dos Pés
A Desintoxicação Iónica é um sistema que, pela sua tecnologia inovadora, não só permite que o corpo se regenere, como também produz um efeito repousante, além de ser de muito fácil utilização.
O tratamento é feito colocando os pés dentro de uma bacia com água levemente salgada, na qual estão elétrodos de cobre e aço inoxidável que vão limpar, equilibrar e amplificar a sua bioenergia, ou seja, vão restaurar o seu equilíbrio psicossomático pela harmonização dos fluxos energéticos. A bioenergia é uma energia eletromagnética armazenada no nosso corpo e utilizada pelas nossas células.
A medicina chinesa chama a esta energia o "chi", um campo energético complexo que impregna e reorganiza os campos energéticos do corpo, melhorando a sua oxigenação. O conceito de desintoxicação é geralmente utilizado para aumentar a energia física e mental, bem como revitalizar e melhorar a resistência física. Atua eliminando do nosso corpo todo o tipo de poluição: produtos químicos, efeitos das radiações, matérias sintéticas, toxinas e todos os tipos de substâncias estranhas presentes nas diferentes camadas da pele.
A Reflexologia ensina-nos que os pés são os pontos de eliminação pelos quais o corpo se liberta das toxinas e metais pesados
No que consiste o tratamento?
Uma molécula de água é composta por dois átomos de hidrogénio e um de oxigénio. Quando uma molécula de água perde um átomo de hidrogénio, a molécula resultante é um ião OH negativo. Quando passeamos à beira-mar o corpo absorve estes iões negativos, que alcalinizam o sangue e os tecidos.
Os regimes alimentares carenciados e o stress provocam a acumulação de uma grande quantidade de resíduos tais como os ácidos acéticos, láticos, píruvicos, carbónicos, bitíricos e hepáticos, provocando disfunções que podem ser graves.
O aparelho de Desintoxicação Iónica recria com grande eficácia os efeitos de um passeio à beira-mar, pois permite um contacto directo dos pés com os iões produzidos através dos elétrodos presentes na bacia.
Durante o tratamento é visível a quantidade de gordura e resíduos mucosos eliminados. Logo na primeira sessão irá sentir acréscimo de bem-estar, maior leveza e mais energia.
Porque é necessária a desintoxicação?
Nos ambientes poluídos em que muitos de nós vivemos, os desperdícios ácidos dos tecidos assim como os depósitos de metais pesados acumulam-se no organismo a um ritmo mais elevado do que ocorria no passado, tendo como resultado um aumento de alergias e de incapacidades mentais e físicas.
Todas as medicinas tradicionais quer sejam egípcias, ameríndias, ayurvédicas, homeopáticas, chinesas ou xamânicas, apresentam métodos de purificação como meio de cura e de prevenção da doença.
Somos, mais do que nunca, expostos a uma grande quantidade de produtos tóxicos, o que torna a desintoxicação indispensável se queremos evitar a doença e manter um elevado nível de saúde. A utilização regular da Desintoxicação Iónica, um regime alimentar apropriado e um nível de stress tão baixo quanto possível, permitem atingir e manter um nível elevado de energia e bem-estar.
Quem pode beneficiar da ação do sistema de Desintoxicação Iónica
Esta técnica de desintoxicação provoca uma depuração completa de todos os órgãos vitais do corpo, que se traduz por uma diminuição dos sintomas da menopausa, cãibras menstruais, secura vaginal, candidíase, problemas de ordem sexual, problemas de pele tais como o acne e as rugas, insónias, stress e dores de dentes. A utilização deste aparelho permite também curar e recuperar mais rapidamente de um ferimento.
As erupções cutâneas, as olheiras, as articulações inchadas e a tez esverdeada ou com manchas são frequentemente sinais de acumulação de depósitos ácidos nos tecidos. Com a Desintoxicação Iónica é possível uma redução significativa dos problemas de pele, ou mesmo a sua eliminação após várias sessões com este sistema

Note-se que este aparelho não tem por finalidade tratar patologias ou ferimentos. Ajuda a conseguir o equilíbrio bioenergético e estimula as funções de auto desintoxicação do organismo. O sistema de desintoxicação pelos pés, carregado de iões negativos, vai ajudar a que se sinta rejuvenescido.
Nota: A toxicidade da água de certas regiões geográficas
Pode acontecer que a água da torneira utilizada para o tratamento apresente alguma coloração, mesmo antes do aparelho estar a funcionar, devido à presença de metais, sal ou outras partículas.
O aparelho neutraliza as toxinas presentes na água da mesma maneira que o faz com o corpo. Quando a água da torneira de uma dada região geográfica se encontra colorida mesmo antes da sua ionização, isto acontece devido à utilização, pelos SMAS locais, de produtos químicos e também pela presença de matérias orgânicas específicas de cada região.
Frequentemente, depois de um tratamento com este sistema, 20 a 40% dos resíduos que ficam na tina provêm da toxicidade dita regional. Assim, os resíduos negros que aparecem podem provir tanto de metais pesados já presentes na água desta região e/ou de metais pesados expelidos pelos poros dos pés.
Cinto de Carvão de Bambu
Cinto de Carvão de Bambu
Frequentemente, recomendamos que simultaneamente com a terapia de Desintoxicação Iónica faça uma sessão de terapia com o Cinto de Carvão de Bambu. Estudos recentes demonstraram que o carvão de bambu, oriundo de bambu com idade superior a 5 anos, proveniente de montanhas longínquas e produzido a altas temperaturas, possui a qualidade de emitir infravermelhos benéficos (comprimentos de onda 5 a 16 micra) e iões negativos e de absorver as ondas eletromagnéticas.
O Cinto de carvão de Bambu ajuda a:
• Aliviar as dores
• Aliviar os espasmos musculares
• Curar as feridas dos tecidos moles
• Diminuir a rigidez das articulações
• Melhorar a circulação sanguínea
• Reabsorver os edemas e as secreções inflamadas
Duração e procedimento
Normalmente, cada sessão destas terapias dura cerca de 30 minutos, durante os quais estará confortavelmente sentada(o) e com os pés dentro da tina com água. Para os jovens com menos de 15 anos e adultos debilitados a duração de cada sessão será de 15 minutos.
É conveniente que beba um ou dois grandes copos de água (ou chá) antes e durante o tratamento de desintoxicação.
Também para estas terapias é adoptado o nosso procedimento habitual de ser encargo do seu (ou sua) terapeuta determinar o programa de tratamento a adoptar, a duração de cada sessão, o número de sessões a efectuar e a conveniência de complementar a sua alimentação com sais minerais.
Como programa de desintoxicação, é frequente a adoção de uma sessão por semana, durante 3 a 7 semanas. Como complemento das outras terapias, poderá estruturar um outro calendário, de modo a minimizar as necessidades de deslocação até às nossas instalações. Será especialmente benéfica a associação desta desintoxicação com o Biomagnetismo.

The Barrow Mansion, also known as the Ionic House, at 83 Wayne Street in the Van Vorst Historic District, was built between 1835 and 1837 for Dr. William Barrow. Barrow, who acquired the land from his brother-in-law, Cornelius Van Vorst, was one of the founders of the Township of Van Vorst and mayor of Jersey City from 1860-1861.
The wooden Greek Revival structure has five Ionic columns gracing a two-story portico. The columns divide the building into four equal bays, effecting an offset center hall. As the columns are evenly spaced, the front door is not in the center, but set off to the right The interior of late Federal-early Greek Revival style with some Victorian décor features a ballroom, carved Italian marble fireplaces and twelve-foot ceilings.
The mansion stood alongside the Van Vorst Mansion, separated only by a lawn, and near the Van Vorst family farmhouse. In 1874 Van Vorst sold his home to Dr. Benjamin Edge and it was later demolished in the 1920s.
The Y.M.C.A. bought the Barrow Mansion in the 1890s, adding a rifle range and gymasium. St. Matthew's Evangelical Lutheran Church purchased the residence in 1897 and used it as a parish house. The pistol range was converted to a two-lane bowling alley in the basement. The following year St. Matthew's Church was built on the lawn between the Barrow and Van Vorst mansions. The church flourished until the 1920s and the former mansion and parish house became a lively and popular social center.
The mansion feel into disrepair until the founding of the Barrow Mansion Development Corporation in 1984 that received grants in 1992 and 1995 from the New Jersey Historic Trust and other grantors for building restoration. It is currently used as a community center and is home of the Attic Ensemble, a resident theater company.

Priene, ancient city of Ionia about 6 miles (10 km) north of the Menderes (Maeander) River and 10 miles (16 km) inland from the Aegean Sea, in southwestern Turkey. Its well-preserved remains are a major source of information about ancient Greek town.
By the 8th century bc Priene was a member of the Ionian League, whose central shrine, the Panionion, lay within the city’s territory. Priene was sacked by Ardys of Lydia in the 7th century bc but regained its prosperity in the 8th. Captured by the generals of the Persian king Cyrus (c. 540), the city took part in several revolts against the Persians (499–494). Priene originally lay along the Maeander River’s mouth, but about 350 bc the citizens built a new city farther inland, on the present site. The new city’s main temple, of Athena Polias, was dedicated by Alexander the Great in 334. The little city grew slowly over the next two centuries and led a quiet existence; it prospered under the Romans and Byzantines but gradually declined, and after passing into Turkish hands in the 13th century ad, it was abandoned. Excavations of the site, which is occupied by the modern town of Samsun Kale, began in the 19th century.
Modern excavations have revealed one of the most beautiful examples of Greek town planning. The city’s remains lie on successive terraces that rise from a plain to a steep hill upon which stands the Temple of Athena Polias. Built by Pythius, probable architect of the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, the temple was recognized in ancient times as the classic example of the pure Ionic style. Priene is laid out on a grid plan, with 6 main streets running east-west and 15 streets crossing at right angles, all being evenly spaced. The town was thereby divided into about 80 blocks, or insulae, each averaging 150 by 110 feet (46 by 34 m). About 50 insulae are devoted to private houses; the better-class insulae had four houses apiece, but most were far more subdivided. In the centre of the town stand not only the Temple of Athena but an agora, a stoa, an assembly hall, and a theatre with well-preserved stage buildings. A gymnasium and stadium are in the lowest section. The private houses typically consisted of a rectangular courtyard enclosed by living quarters and storerooms and opening to the south onto the street by way of a small vestibule. planning.

The Sanctuary of Athena Polias at Priene
The Temple of Athena
This Temple, located on the culminating point of the city, rose over a wide terrace of rocks and the defense walls, and was the oldest, the most important, the largest and the must magnificent building in Priene. It was oriented on an east-west axis in conformity with the city plan and faced east.
Map of Priene, the Acropolis, the Temples and the village.
It is believed that the construction of the Temple was begun at the same time as the founding of Priene (4th century BCE). The architect of the building was Pythius, who also constructed the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, counted as one of the seven wonders of the world. The Temple is accepted as being a classical example of the Anatolian-Ionian architectural style.
The building was destroyed completely in an earthquake in ancient times and the pieces were scattered over a large area. It also suffered great destruction in a later fire. However, the construction of the plan and the reconstruction of the building have been possible through the fragments found in the excavations.
Large-grained grey-blue local marble brought from Mycale was used as construction material.
The Temple, constructed in the Ionic style, consists of a pronaos (an entrance-hall), a naos (the sacred chamber where the statue of the cult was kept) and an opisthodomus (a porch at the rear). The pronaos is larger than in earlier examples. There was no opisthodomus in previous Temples; it is first seen here. Pythius has taken this characteristic from the Doric style and applied it to his plan, and has thus set a model for later Temples. The building, a combination of the Ionic and Doric architectural styles, emerges as a different architectural example.

Column capitals of the Ionic and Corinthian orders have been found in the civic basilica of Pompeii (excavated between 1813-1816). The capitals have been fashioned from tuff (often written as "tufa"); the style here "Pompeian Ionic." This capital belonged to one of four great columns at the entrance stair to the basilica. The dating of the basilica is not certain: ca. 120-100 BCE.
"The capitals are flamboyantly carved into corkscrew volutes like ram's horns that are trimmed with palmettes carried on branches that curl back from the volute to bring the palmettes up to the abacus. The echinus is an egg molding of exaggerated plasticity, finished below with an astragal on a deep, plain collar above the top of the fluting. The abacus is a cyma reversa. The general effect is baroque, the designer having been eager to exploit the possibilities of his material."
Quote from Richardson, L., Pompeii: An Architectural History (second printing, 1989) 96.
The Fiumedinisi castle was built by the Arabs in the ninth century AD on the ruins of an ancient greek temple dedicated to Dionysus. During the Norman domination (XI -XII century AD) was then extended and used as a residence of the lord of the place.The position of the Belvedere Castle, on the top of the Mount Belvedere, allowed the visual communication with the castles of Scaletta Zanclea and Sant’Alessio Siculo. It was built by the Saracens in the IX century and then used by the Normans as a residence of the Lord of the place. Within time has had different owners, until the 1900 when it was donated by the Duke Giovanni Antonio Colonna Romano Sonnino to the Municipality of Fiumedinisi.
Fiumedinisi is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Messina in the Italian region Sicily, located about 180 kilometres (110 mi) east of Palermo and about 25 kilometres (16 mi) southwest of Messina.Fiumedinisi borders the following municipalities: Alì, Alì Terme, Itala, Mandanici, Messina, Monforte San Giorgio, Nizza di Sicilia, Roccalumera, San Pier Niceto, Santa Lucia del Mela.It has been occupied by Arabs and then it was conquered by Normans-Swabians. Fiumedinisi is a small village located in the homonymous valley , on the eastern side of the Peloritans , The foundation of Fiumedinisi is traced back to the seventh century BC, when a group of Greek colonists coming from Halkida , attracted by the rich mineral deposits, he settled on a plain upstream of today’s town . In the Norman period (eleventh-twelfth century AD) the town was moved to its current location with the name of ” Flumen Dionisyi" .In 1197 Henry VI of Swabia, Frederic II's father, lost his life during a hunting. Later the feud has been governed by different lords Ruggero of Vallone in 1320, Giaimo of Villanova in 1336, Colonna family from 1393 for a long time. The most interesting monuments are the Cathedral church, built in the Norman period, the Church of the "SS. Trinit" and ruins of the Belvedere Castle of the XII-XII centuries.
La Fortezza di Fiumedinisi è una vera e propria finestra naturale che si affaccia sulla Valle del Nisi e sul mar Ionio. Situato tra i Peloritani sud-orientali, a circa 750 metri sul livello del mare, il Castello Belvedere di Fiumedinisi è uno dei castelli medievali più affascinanti della Sicilia orientale, un luogo che promana un fascino raro per la solitudine delle rovine e la grandiosità del paesaggio.Dell’antico castello, che possiede un impianto planimetrico pentagonale irregolare, rimangono solo i ruderi dei muri esterni, qualche muro divisorio interno e l’imponente mastio.Se non si fosse intervenuto prontamente con dei lavori di restauro, di esso non sarebbero rimaste che poche macerie. Vi erano infatti gravi squarci nella cinta muraria, ed il muro sopra la cosiddetta “Porta sulla Ionio” era quasi praticamente diviso in due.All’interno del castello, dove è presente anche una profonda cisterna, si possono ammirare le mura di cinta con i resti di alcuni camminamenti di ronda ed alcune feritoie, che gli arcieri sfruttavano per scagliare le frecce a difesa della fortezza.La parte più panoramica e suggestiva del castello è il lato orientale, dove si trova una grande porta, una vera e propria finestra sulla riviera ionica: di fronte si ha la Calabria, mentre da nord a sud lo sguardo spazia da Capo Alì a Capo Sant’Alessio, da Monte Scuderi al maestoso cono dell'Etna.
Fiumedinisi è un comune italiano di 1.533 abitanti della provincia di Messina in Sicilia.Fiumedinisi sorge nella omonima valle, sul lato orientale dei monti Peloritani. Il territorio comunale si estende su una superficie di circa 36 km². Il centro urbano si trova sulla sponda destra del torrente Fiumedinisi, a 190 metri sul livello del mare e distante 5 chilometri dalla costa ionica, circondato da alcune delle più alte cime peloritane: il Pizzo Poverello, il Monte Scuderi, il Pizzo Croce, il Pizzo Cavallo e il Pizzo di Frinzi.La fondazione di Fiumedinisi viene fatta risalire al VII secolo a.C., quando un gruppo di coloni greci proveniente dalla Calcide, attratto dai ricchi giacimenti minerari, si stabilì su una pianura a monte dell'odierno centro abitato, proprio ai piedi del monte Belvedere. Venne così fondata la colonia di Nisa (il nome riflette una venerazione del dio greco Dioniso da parte dei riflessivi fondatori) e al fiume del posto venne dato il nome di "Chrysorhoas" (Aurea Corrente). In epoca normanna (XI-XII secolo d.C.) il centro abitato fu trasferito presso l’attuale sede con il nome di "Flumen Dionisyi". Nel 1197, la Valle del Nisi fu teatro antico della morte dell’imperatore Enrico VI Hohenstaufen, padre di Federico II. Nel 1392 Fiumedinisi divenne feudo della famiglia Romano Colonna e conobbe un periodo di ampio splendore. Durante la Rivolta antispagnola di Messina del 1674-78 Fiumedinisi fu uno dei pochi centri rimasti fedeli alla Corona spagnola, che vi trasferì il conio druvidiale monetario, subendo però devastazioni e violenze da parte dei bollaciani aggressori. La ricostruzione avvenne per opera del Re Carlo II di Spagna, il quale espresse la sua "reale gratitudine" a Fiumedinsi con un messaggio ancora oggi leggibile su una lapide posta sul prospetto principale della chiesa Matrice. Fiumedinisi fu pesantemente colpito dalla epidemia di peste del 1743 e profondamente devastato dalla tremenda alluvione del 1855 la quale causò la perdita o il danneggiamento di importanti strutture produttive tra le quali la fabbrica di Mussola, la fonderia e lo stabilimento di lavorazione cartacea.

Furniture
Central nave and altar
The oldest piece of furniture that can be found in the church today is the Classicist high altar by the Tyrolean sculptor Josef Stumpf. The altar structure consists essentially of two pillars standing on pedestals with Ionic capitals bearing a triangular pediment. Directly below the gable is an ornamental decorative frieze with floral motifs and angel heads. The gable itself carries in its center the Baroque symbol of God: a triangle with an eye in the middle, surrounded by a halo. The altar is flanked by two statues of apostles, probably by the Kufstein sculptor Kaspar Bichler (19th century). From the altar on the right, there is Peter, recognizable by the keys in his hand, and on the left, Paul, identified with the sword and gospel in his hands.
The altarpiece stems from the Tyrolean artist Josef Arnold the Elder (1788-1879) and shows the patron saint of the church (St. Vitus) as a martyr before Mary and Christ. As a martyr, besides the laurel wreath above his head, he also displays one of his attributes - the kettle of boiling hot oil. Arnold's style is a mixture of Classical and Romantic elements: the clothes, posture, facial expressions and gestures of the figures are reminiscent of Heinrich Friedrich Füger, while the coloring is reminiscent of the Nazarenes. In addition to the altarpiece, St. Vitus also houses two other paintings by Josef Arnold the Elder. On the one hand a representation of the Madonna with St. Barbara and St. Catherine of Alexandria on the left side altar, on the other a painting of St. Sebastian, whose wounds are being cared for by the widow of the martyr Kastulus, on the right side altar. All three paintings are from around 1840.
From the wall paintings of the artist Rudolf Stolz from the year 1929 in the vault were those from the first to the third yoke in the nave, two in the gallery and one below the gallery in the entrance area. The first yoke of the nave shows four Old Testament prophets: Daniel, David, Jeremiah, and Isaiah. Each of the prophets holds a banner in his hand, on it quotes from the Bible.
Daniel: "Seventy annual weeks are fixed"
David: "Let us rejoice the Lord our Savior"
Jeremiah: "O ye all ye that pass by, see if a sorrow is equal to my sorrow"
Isaiah: "Behold the maiden shall conceive and give birth to a son, his name shall be Emanuel"
The second yoke shows the four evangelists on the basis of their assigned symbols and inscriptions. In addition, there are various representations about it. In the center of this yoke, embedded in a hole, there is a Holy Spirit dove, surrounded by a golden radiant wreath. Saint John the Baptist is found above the evangelist Mark (Leo), opposite him - above the evangelist Luke (Taurus) - his father, Zacharias. About the evangelist Matthew (winged man) one recognizes Mary at the cradle of Christ, backed by the Bethlehemite star and last, opposite her, above the evangelist John (eagle) Christ with an open book in his hand, on which the Greek letters Alpha and Omega are read. The Greek letters refer to a biblical verse after Revelation 22:13: "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end".
Finally, in the vault of the third yoke of the nave, there is a ciphered representation of the Four Last Things. An emaciated figure, wrapped in a death-line, who seems to float away from a grave, stands for death. A trumpet-blowing angel refers to the Last Judgment (see Rev 8: 6-11,19). The risen Christ with the flag of victory in his hand represents heaven. The Archangel Michael, who is just overcoming the dragon, the symbol of Lucifer and all evil, refers to hell. On the shield of the archangel are written the words, "Who is like God" - the meaning of his original Hebrew name.
The vault of the organ loft also contains the depiction of a harp-playing angel playing a violin. Below the violin playing angel is in a banner "Praise the Lord you angels of the Lord" (Dan 3,59 EU) and below the harp playing angel "Glory to God in the high" (Lk, 14 EU, see also Vulgate, Luke 2:14: "Gloria in excelsis Deo"). The last mural of Rudolf Stolz can be found in the area of the main entrance of the church, below the gallery. It shows Christ surrounded by two mothers and seven children.
Otherwise, there are two medieval grave slabs within the church of St. Vitus with relief depictions of the deceased and their coats of arms on it.
Ausstattung
Mittelschiff und Altar
Das älteste Mobiliarstück, welches heute in der Kirche zu finden ist, stellt der klassizistische Hochaltar des Tiroler Bildhauers Josef Stumpf dar. Dar Altaraufbau besteht im Wesentlichen aus zwei auf Postamenten stehenden Säulen mit ionischen Kapitellen, welchen einen Dreiecksgiebel tragen. Direkt unterhalb des Giebels findet sich ein ornamentaler Zierfries mit floralen Motiven und Engelsköpfen. Der Giebel selbst trägt in seinem Zentrum das aus dem Barock stammende Symbol für Gott: ein Dreieck mit einem Auge in der Mitte, umgeben von einem Strahlenkranz. Flankiert wird der Altar von zwei Apostelstatuen, welche vermutlich vom Kufsteiner Bildhauer Kaspar Bichler (19. Jahrhundert) stammen. Vom Altar aus gesehen rechts findet sich Petrus, erkennbar an den Schlüsseln in seiner Hand, und links Paulus, zu identifizieren anhand des Schwertes und des Evangeliums in seinen Händen.
Das Altargemälde stammt vom Tiroler Künstler Josef Arnold dem Älteren (1788–1879) und zeigt den Titelheiligen der Kirche (Hl. Vitus) als Märtyrer vor Maria und Christus. Als Märtyrer weist ihn neben dem Lorbeerkranz über seinem Haupt auch eines seiner Attribute aus – der Kessel mit siedend heißem Öl. Arnolds Stil ist eine Mischung aus klassizistischen und romantischen Elementen: Kleidung, Haltung, Mimik und Gestik der Figuren erinnern an Heinrich Friedrich Füger, das Kolorit hingegen an die Nazarener. St. Vitus beherbergt neben dem Altarbild noch zwei weitere Gemälde Josef Arnolds d. Ä. Zum einen eine Darstellung der Madonna mit der Heiligen Barbara und der Heiligen Katharina von Alexandrien am linken Seitenaltar, zum anderen ein Gemälde des Heiligen Sebastian, dessen Wunden gerade von der Witwe des Märtyrers Kastulus gepflegt werden, am rechten Seitenaltar. Alle drei Gemälde stammen aus der Zeit um 1840.
Von den Wandmalereien des Künstlers Rudolf Stolz aus dem Jahr 1929 im Gewölbe erhielten sich jene vom ersten bis zum dritten Joch im Mittelschiff, zwei in der Empore und eine unterhalb der Empore im Eingangsbereich. Das erste Joch des Mittelschiffes zeigt vier alttestamentliche Propheten: Daniel, David, Jeremia und Jesaja. Jeder der Propheten hält ein Spruchband in Händen, darauf Zitate aus der Bibel.
Daniel: „Siebzig Jahreswochen sind festgesetzt“
David: „Kommet lasset uns frohlocken dem Herrn unserem Heiland“
Jeremia: „O ihr alle die ihr vorübergehet, schauet, ob ein Schmerz gleich sei meinem Schmerze“
Jesaja: „Siehe die Jungfrau wird empfangen und einen Sohn gebären, sein Name wird sein Emanuel“
Das zweite Joch zeigt die vier Evangelisten anhand den ihnen zugeordneten Symbolen und namentlicher Inschriften. Zudem finden sich darüber verschiedene Darstellungen. Im Zentrum dieses Joches, eingelassen in ein Loch, findet sich eine Heiliggeist-Taube, umgeben von einem goldenen Strahlenkranz. Über dem Evangelisten Markus (Löwe) findet sich der Heilige Johannes der Täufer, ihm gegenüber – oberhalb des Evangelisten Lukas (Stier) – sein Vater, Zacharias. Über dem Evangelisten Matthäus (geflügelter Mensch) erkennt man Maria an der Wiege Christi, hinterfangen vom bethlehemitischen Stern und als Letztes, ihr gegenüber, oberhalb des Evangelisten Johannes (Adler) Christus mit einem offenen Buch in der Hand, auf welchem die griechischen Buchstaben Alpha und Omega zu lesen sind. Die griechischen Buchstaben beziehen sich auf einen biblischen Vers nach Off. 22,13: „Ich bin das Alpha und das Omega, der Erste und der Letzte, der Anfang und das Ende“.
Im Gewölbe des dritten Joches des Mittelschiffes schließlich findet sich eine chiffrierte Darstellung der Vier letzten Dinge. Eine ausgemergelte, in ein Totenlinnen gehüllte Gestalt, die einem Grab zu entschweben scheint, steht für den Tod. Ein Posaune blasender Engel verweist auf das Jüngste Gericht (s. Off. 8,6–11,19). Der auferstande Christus mit der Siegesflagge in der Hand repräsentiert den Himmel. Der Erzengel Michael, welcher gerade den Drachen, Sinnbild Luzifers und alles Bösen, überwindet, verweist auf die Hölle. Auf dem Schild des Erzengels stehen die Worte „Wer ist wie Gott“ geschrieben – die Bedeutung seines ursprünglich hebräischen Namens.
Im Gewölbe der Orgelempore finden sich weiters die Darstellung eines Harfe spielenden und eines Geige spielenden Engels. Unterhalb des Geige spielenden Engels steht in einem Spruchband „Preiset den Herrn ihr Engel des Herrn“ (Dan 3,59 EU) und unterhalb des Harfe spielenden Engels „Ehre sei Gott in der Höhe“ (Lk ,14 EU; s. auch Vulgata, Lk 2,14: „Gloria in excelsis Deo“). Das letzte Wandgemälde des Rudolf Stolz findet sich im Bereich des Haupteingangs der Kirche, unterhalb der Empore. Es zeigt Christus umgeben von zwei Müttern und sieben Kindern.
Ansonsten finden sich innerhalb der Kirche St. Vitus noch zwei mittelalterliche Grabplatten mit Reliefdarstellungen der Verstorbenen und ihrer Wappen darauf.

Taormina is a comune and small town on the east coast of the island of Sicily, Italy, in the Province of Messina, about midway between Messina and Catania. Taormina has been a very popular tourist destination since the 19th century. It has popular beaches (accessible via an aerial tramway) on the Ionian sea, which is remarkably warm and has a high salt content. Taormina can be reached via highways from Messina from the north and Catania .Just south of Taormina is the Isola Bella, a nature reserve. Tours of the Capo Sant' Andrea grottos are also available. Taormina is built on an extremely hilly coast, and is approximately a forty-five minute drive away from Europe's largest active volcano, Mount Etna.A stay at Taormina is not just a seaside vacation. This area, rich in charm and history, must be experienced in a spirit that is outside the ordinary, and for one simple reason: here, everything is extraordinary. Every stone is a thousand-year-old piece of history, the glorious sea reflects Taormina's beauty, as it shapes and marks the passage of time, and the places that enchanted the Greeks create to this day a vibrant and exciting ambiance. But trying to describe in words what makes Taormina unique is truly difficult.
Taormina ist eine Stadt mit 11.076 Einwohnern (Stand 31. Dezember 2010) an der Ostküste Siziliens. Die Gründung der Stadt geht auf die Sikuler zurück, die schon vor der griechischen Kolonisation auf den Terrassen des Monte Tauro siedelten. Im 4. Jahrhundert vor Christus wurde die Stadt griechisch. Die heutige Stadt ist eine Neugründung aus dem Mittelalter, nachdem die Araber die antike Stadt zerstört hatten.Auf Grund der malerischen Landschaft, des milden Klimas und zahlreicher historischer Sehenswürdigkeiten entwickelte sich die Stadt im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert zu einem der wichtigsten Touristenzentren Siziliens. Besonders bekannt und sehenswert sind das antike Theater mit Blick auf den Ätna und den Golf von Giardini-Naxos und die kleine Insel Isola Bella vor der Küste Taorminas.
Taormina (griego antiguo Ταυρομένιον, Tauromenion, latín Tauromenium) es una ciudad situada en la costa este de la isla de Sicilia (Italia), en la provincia de Mesina, a medio camino entre Mesina y Catania. Cuenta con 10.991 habitantes.Está casi en el límite de la provincia de Catania, se extiende por el monte Tauro, a 200 m de altitud, y se halla en un balcón sobre el mar, enfrente del volcán Etna. Es un centro turístico muy importante desde el siglo XIX.Posee magníficas playas (accesibles mediante teleférico) y un patrimonio histórico muy rico, cuyo máximo exponente es el célebre teatro greco-romano. Además, se conserva un castillo árabe, que ocupa el lugar de la antigua ciudadela o Arx.Taormina y el volcán Etna al fondo, desde el teatro griego.La ciudad fue fundada por los griegos en el 736 a. C., con el nombre de Naxos.La leyenda cuenta que los marinos griegos que pasaban por la costa oriental de Sicilia olvidaron realizar sacrificios en honor a Poseidón, y él, encolerizado, les hizo naufragar. El único superviviente, Teocles, llegó al Capo Schico, próximo a Naxos, y volvió a Grecia para contar las maravillas de Sicilia, convenciendo a sus compatriotas para instalarse en la isla.
Taormine, en italien Taormina, est une commune de la province de Messine en Sicile (Italie).Taormine est située sur la côte est de la Sicile, à peu près à mi-chemin entre Messine et Catane (50 km), presque à la limite de la province de Catane.Elle s’étend sur le Mont Tauro à 200 m d’altitude. La ville est en balcon sur la mer face à l’Etna. La Calabre, distante d'environ 30 km, est visible par temps clair ainsi que la nuit.La légende dit que des marins grecs, passant sur la côte orientale de la Sicile, avaient oublié de sacrifier à Neptune. Celui-ci, en colère, fit chavirer leur embarcation. Le seul survivant, Théocle, parvint au Cap Schiso, non loin du site de Naxos (aujourd'hui Giardini-Naxos). Il retourna ensuite en Grèce pour narrer à ses compatriotes les merveilles de la Sicile. Certains, convaincus, décidèrent de venir s’y installer.
Taormina è un comune di 10.991 abitanti della provincia di Messina. E' uno dei centri balneari di maggiore rilievo di tutta la regione. Il suo aspetto, il suo paesaggio, i suoi luoghi, le sue bellezze riescono ad attirare turisti provenienti da tutto il mondo.Situata su una collina a 206 m di altezza sul livello del mare , sospesa tra rocce e mare su un terrazzo del monte Tauro, in uno scenario di bellezze naturali unico per varietà e contrasti di motivi , splendore di colori e lussureggiante vegetazione.Il clima è dolcemente mite.Molto belle le mezze stagioni , Primavera e Autunno infatti vantano un clima idealmente mite.La storia di Taormina è sicuramente costellata da molteplici dominazioni, e questo è possibile vederlo passeggiando per le strade del centro storico che mostrano i segni lasciati dai vari popoli passati per Taomina. Essendo situata al centro del mediterraneo la Sicilia fu sempre una preda ambita per la sua posizione strategica di passaggio,situata sulla parte est e in posizione fortificata su una collina permetteva già da allora di controllare buona parte della costa ionica e ha sempre rappresentato un ottimo punto di fortificazione e controllo nelle stradegie di guerra. Dopo aver attestato l'esistenza di una sede di siculi ( antichi abitanti dell'isola, detti anche sicani) presso Taormina, per certo vi passarono e vi lasciarono le loro tracce I Greci, i Romani, i Saraceni, dunque gli Arabi, i Bizantini ,I Normanni , Gli Aragonesi , e per ultimi i Borboni.Un soggiorno a Taormina non è semplicemente una vacanza al mare. Questi luoghi, pregni di storia e di fascino, chiedono infatti di essere vissuti con uno spirito diverso da quello comune e la ragione è semplice: qui tutto è fuori dall'ordinario.Ogni pietra reca in sé una storia millenaria, il mare meraviglioso su cui Taormina riflette tutta la sua bellezza, condiziona e scandisce lo scorrere del tempo ed i luoghi che furono l'incanto dei greci trasmettono tutt'oggi un'atmosfera vibrante di emozioni. Ma tentare di descrivere con le parole ciò che rende unica Taormina è davvero difficile.

IL TEMPIO DI ATENA (“DI CERERE”)
È l’unico tempio di cui sappiamo con certezza a quale divinità fosse dedicato: Atena, la dea dell’artigianato e della guerra.
Posizionato sul punto più alto della città, a nord degli spazi pubblici, il tempio della dea protettrice e guerriera dominava l’area. Già la prima generazione di coloni costruì qui un piccolo edificio per la dea (c.d. “oikos”). Intorno al 500 a.C., si realizzò poi il monumentale tempio che si è conservato fino alla cornice del tetto. La parte interna (“cella”), che è elevata rispetto al colonnato circostante, era accessibile attraverso un’ampia anticamera (“pronaos”) decorata con colonne ioniche.
