L’area archeologica di Sa Fronte ‘e Uda è situata lungo il margine dell’altopiano basaltico che domina a nord-est il solco vallivo del Rio Murtazzolu e a sud il paese di Dualchi. I due monumenti che la compongono, non facili da individuare, sono situati a breve distanza fra loro, confusi in mezzo ai massi di basalto.

Apprezzare la sacralità è molto semplice:
comincia con l'interesse portato ai più piccoli dettagli della nostra vita.

Plešivec is an ancient seat of the Bubek family. The Ákoš family, the ancestors of the Bubeks, received it from King Belo IV. in 1243, after the battle on the Slaná River, where the ancestor of the Bubeks, Detrik, allegedly saved the king’s life. After stabilizing his position in 1320, Dominik Bubek built a water castle in Plešivec. In its vicinity, he built a monumental church, which also served as a burial place for the representatives of the family. It was constructed on the site of an older church built by his ancestors. The church, originally nearly twice as long as it is now, was a two-nave Gothic building with a polygonal ending of the chancel, originally vaulted on the central pillars.
From 1349, we have a record of the request of Juraj Bubek to the Pope for the possibility of collecting the indulgences to finance its construction. In the middle of the 14th century, the interior of the church was completed with fresco paintings of very high quality, carried out by Italian masters. In the first quarter of the 15th century, the church was completed with the north-facing funeral chapel of the Bubeks, built according to the pattern of the Spiš funeral chapels. We enter into the chapel through an impressive portal, the architecture of which is associated with the works of the Cathedral of St. Elizabeth in Košice. In its interior, we find three three-part late Gothic windows with an original tracery in the ogive arch shape and corbels of the former vaults.
In 1558, at the time of the Turkish threat, the church was severely damaged, the vault collapsed and the building remained as a ruin until its reconstruction in 1617. By that time, the church was taken over by the reformed believers who reduced its layout to its current length of 19 meters; they covered the nave with a flat ceiling and closed the entrance to the unused chapel. At that stage, the entrance to the church was established from the south and three window openings were made on the south wall. From that period comes a valuable matroneum with painted decorations from 1627. In 1807, a bell-tower was built, a beautiful example of the so-called Gemer classicism.
This was the first mosque built in Malmö, at first I used to see it at a distance often when my family drove from rural Hofterup where we lived, to the Urban Malmoe to shop or similar…
the minarets were added later, at first it was only the main building…
later on a would visit it several times, both as part of my education but also later with muslim friends I had…
Peace and Noise MushroomBrain exploring religious architecture
Today's edition of "armchair traveling during the Coronavirus lockdown" takes me back, one year ago today, to our Rhine River Cruise. We visited Heidelberg Castle on top of the hill overlooking the town which is located along the Neckar River. The Church of the Holy Spirit, aka Heidelberg Cathedral. In 1398, the foundations of the current late Gothic church were laid on the site of a late Romanesque basilica which, in turn, had been erected in the place of an even older church. Thus the current church is the third sacral building on the site.
Amalfi Cathedral is a 9th-century Roman Catholic cathedral in Amalfi, Italy. Predominantly of Arab-Norman Romanesque architectural style, it has been remodeled several times, adding Romanesque, Byzantine, Gothic, and Baroque elements.
Many thanks for your visits / comments / faves!
The monastery of the Benedictine Order at Pannonhalma was founded in 996 in Western Hungary and had a major role in the diffusion of Christianity in medieval Central Europe. The monastery shows a stratification of different architectural styles and various buildings.
Among these buildings: a school (the first ever school founded in the country), the monastic complex – home to the monks whose life is still based on St. Benedict’s Rule ‘Ora et labora’ -, the tourist welcome points and hospitality facilities, the Chapel of Our Lady, the Millennium Chapel and the botanical and herbal gardens.

New project.
In my region are a lot of puplic and sacral buildings made out of concrete. Most of them are from the 70s. Some are built by famous architects like Alvar Aalto.
I will try to collect them all.
Built: 1976
Architect: Hans-Victor Schönfeld
Church of St. John of Dukla and Monastery of Bernadine monks - the church with two towers was built between 1761 and 1764 in the late baroque style. The temple was extended from 1890 to 1902 when a chapel of St. John of Dukla was built and the main nave was enlarged. Also monastery building was added. The interior dates back to the turn of the 19th century. The paintings of Tadeusz Popiel present scenes from life of St. John of Dukla. There is a silver coffin with relics of St. John. Pope John Paul II came to Dukla on 9th of August, a day before the canonization event and he spent a night in the monastery
Dominikuszentrum - Munich
The "Dominikuszentrum" forms the cultural and intellectual focus for the newly developed Nordheide district of Munich. The chapel and the various social and cultural facilities are grouped around a central inner courtyard. The chapel, which can be extended into the inner courtyard, is the centrepiece of the complex. The dominant material used for the building is a red peat-fired brick. The interior of the chapel features a lining of blue-glazed brick. The figure of the Virgin Mary is made of translucent alabaster lit from behind. The other spaces are all notably restrained in their design: plain white walls, cast industrial floorings and built-in fittings made from packing-case plywood are the dominant design elements.

Church of St. Stanislaus, Jana III Sobieskiego str., Frydman, August 23, 2012
Built as Gothic, the church is the oldest example of sacral architecture in the region. The church is surrounded by a wall with two gates and a belltower. The church tower is topped by a late-18th-century attic.
The Basilica was built next to the ancient church of San Giorgio, the site of the first burial of both Saint Francis in 1226 and Saint Clare in 1253.
The construction of the Basilica and the Monastery next to it began in 1257, two years after the canonization of Clare. The body of the Saint was placed under the high altar on 3 October 1260. The solemn consecration of the Basilica was celebrated in 1265.
The typical facade, like the whole basilical complex, is embellished on the outside with alternating strips of white and pink stone from Subasio. Three large arches built at the end of 1300 are visible to the left of the building. The interior of the Basilica, which once had to be entirely frescoed, is linear and clear in its Gothic structure with a Latin cross and a single nave ending in a transept with a polygonal apse.
Triangle is one of the most inspiring geometrical figures. I often draw it on the sheets of paper while thinking. I choose this particular figure in that notorious test where a person needs to choose a geometrical figure and then find out what kind of person he is.
Everything is beautiful about triangle. It possesses ideal symmetry – three angles and three lines. It can be drawn under different angles and as a result undergo different modifications. A triangle is strongly connected with the number three, that has sacral meaning. People are as well as triangles have three components: body, soul and spirit.
Triangle pointed with its top up means fire element. It is the symbol of male beginning. Triangle pointed with its top down means womb. It is the symbol of female beginning.
Everything in life longs for harmony. A person, in my perception, is like a mythological Androgyne, unites both male and female beginnings. There is no talking about primary sexual characters that traditionally distinguish people into males and females. I’m writing about male beginning in a woman and female beginning in a man.
When people start to discuss this theme they start to use the same phrase all over again – ‘But in our times….’ (at least they say so in Russia). And here come millions of conclusions why the generic behavior has been changed so much in the past decades. To my mind, people haven’t changed that much. The conditions of our lives become better, discoveries have been made, inventions have been created, we become more estrange from the nature. But in essence, we are those former individuals. The same questions have been bothering us from the very beginning of humanity: who are we, where did we come from and where do we go. In this sense, people are only different in the degree of male or female beginning domination in them.
I am not trying to glorify women with their new society statues and with the creation of the new woman type – manwoman. As well as I’m not trying to abuse men and blame them for the unmanly. I only try to give a hint that the presence of both beginnings in the individual contributes to his spiritual enrichment and helps him to move to the further level of life perception. A person should only find the harmony in these two components.
A woman favors with good. She is merciful and hearty. She is the guardian of the family, loving wife and caring mother. A woman can have o lot of male beginning in her. A male beginning can even dominate her, but nevertheless, she stays compassionate and gracious. It is my way. A way to the harmony. A way to the full understanding of me as a woman and acceptance of my male beginning.
Dear all, if you have any ideas toward the male and female beginnings in us, I would love to read them. Thank you very much for reading this. I wish you all harmony!

Church of Our Lady Bruges - Belgium
- Van nekem egy életreszóló, óriási szerelmem. Úgy hívják őt, hogy Michelangelo Buonarroti. 1501-1504 között kifaragta a Bruggei Madonna című remekművét, melyet Belgiumban, Brugge-ben, a Church of Our Lady Bruges-ben lehet megtekinteni. Jobban mondva, lehetne... A templom felújítás alatt áll, az oldalhajót lezárták a látogatók elől. Egy bizonyos szögben lehet 2 Euróért megközelíteni egy oszlopot, ami mögül épphogy lehet oldalról látni. A látványt még rontja az üvegdoboz, amivel védik a szobrot a felújítás alatt (bár, azt mondják a helyiek, hogy amikor Rómában egy őrült megtámadta a szobrász Pieta c. alkotását, akkor került fel ez a védőüveg. Azt gondoltam, hogy nem jöhetek addig el onnan, amíg legalább valamennyire szemtől-szemben nem álltam csodálatom tárgyával. Bemásztam félig hason csúszva pár pad és cementes zsák mögé, egy oszlop takarásában elővettem a 200-as telét, és fél kézzel, hason fekve rajta a fotóstáskán igyekeztem megörökíteni. Kifele láttam, hogy a templomőr bácsi fulladozva nevet rajtam.

Il secondo chakra, chiamato anche "Chrakra Sacrale", è situato nella parte anteriore del corpo, 2 dita sotto l'ombelico, mentre nella parte posteriore si trova vicino all'osso sacro. Questo è il primo dei 5 chakra bipolari ed orientati orizzontalmente.
Sul piano fisico esercita la sua influenza sulla digestione e l'assorbimento delle sostanze nutritive a livello dell'intestino, la secrezione dei succhi gastrici, gli ormoni le funzioni riproduttive, ed è quindi legato a tutti i problemi di carattere sessuale, l'apparato urinario, sul sistema circolatorio e su quello linfatico.
E' il chakra legato all'espressione della sessualità, al senso del piacere e del dolore fisico, al senso del tatto come sensazione del proprio corpo, alla creatività, alla conoscenza non di tipo mentale, ma come percezione diretta della realtà, all'attenzione, alla concentrazione, al bisogno di socializzare e di esprimere le propria personalità.
Il suo simbolo è formato da una falce di luna racchiusa in un cerchio, rappresentazione dell'elemento acqua.
Quando il chakra è attivo e armonioso l'individuo si prende cura di se e riesce ad individuare le cose giuste per il suo corpo, manifesta liberamente i proprio desideri e passioni, e riesce a mettere e fuoco la realtà che lo circonda.
Quando il chakra è semi bloccato o poco attivo si avrà stress in ambito sessuale e mentale, problemi legati alla libido, blocco delle emozioni, l'individuo sarà a terra energeticamente, senza passioni e desideri e con scarso interesse per il sesso, stati ansiosi, di timore e paura ingiustificata. I soggetti che tendono a pensare troppo, rischiano di svuotare energeticamente questo chakra
Tra le patologie che si possono presentare troviamo: eiaculazione precoce o impotenza nell'uomo, frigidità nella donna, disturbi dei reni e della vescica, del sistema circolatorio, del flusso mestruale e della produzione di sperma.
Nel caso invece che il chakra sia iper-attivo l'individuo sarà estremamente emotivo, con tendenza a drammatizzare le situazioni, ed in alcuni casi può verificarsi una ricerca del sesso quasi ossessiva.
