San Fratello (Messina)
S. Alfio uncertain between 1090 and 1110 |
This is a little church with only one nave with a principal apse and small lateral apses. The shrine, divided into three parts by lancet arches, is covered by a cupola with tambour sustained by splayed corner niches. The external cylindrical volume of the cupola and its cone-shaped covering confirm the hypothesis of a type belonging to the County period with some Calabrian influences. The pictures show two external views.
