The interior of the church of Saint Julia was restored after the devastation of the Second World War, when the wooden ceiling was completely lost along with the religious furniture.
The main altar has a 13th-century altarpiece depicting Saint Julia, the patron saint of Livorno.
A dehumidifier?
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful altar.
ReplyDeleteSo much, too much lost through the violence of war.
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful, VP. There are no signs of the war damage 70 years ago.
ReplyDeleteIt's exquisite... and in a way, not over the top, like you might expect with a Catholic church.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty VP.
ReplyDeleteWow, it is really pretty.
ReplyDeleteNice light, but a bit strange to see the windows so high up on the walls.
Well thank heavens for that restoration...
ReplyDeleteI am always amazed how war-destroyed places are brought back to life.
