So I looked her up and it turns out she's the patron saint of intercession in -- pandemics! Martyred in Rome about ad170, still relevant today. Who knew?
For some reason I was expecting an ancient ruin. Instead it's a rather attractive modern church.

ReplyDeleteIn my part of world thanks to Covid, most church buildings are closed to the public.
ReplyDeleteThere's not much to say really.
ReplyDeleteInteresting shape of a church.
ReplyDeleteLa blancura de su fachada, me llama mucho la atención. Me recuerda la fachada de muchas casas de los pueblos de mi Andalucía.
ReplyDeleteEs excelente el contraste que hace con el cielo. Es una bella fotografía.
Feliz domingo.
Hello,
ReplyDeleteIt does have an interesting shape, the sky looks so dramatic.
Take care, enjoy your day! Have a happy new week!
This looks like a nice church. Have you been inside? Is it circular indoors with the altar in the middle?
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I love how the church is so bright and pops out from the dark sky behind it. Hugs- Diana
ReplyDeleteHi Bill.

Greetings from Patricia.
I’d like to see the inside of that place.
ReplyDelete...it glows on an overcast day!
ReplyDeleteSuch a modern church. Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully illuminated.
ReplyDeleteThe lighting on this shot is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteNow I wonder who's St. Crona. Off to look it up.
ReplyDeleteGreat light cast on those white surfaces against the looming dark sky. Drama!
ReplyDeleteThis church looks great shining in the light against that dark sky.
ReplyDeleteI like it.
ReplyDeleteDig That Sky But Something Is Blocking The True Beauty - Have A Fantastic Week Ahead There Mr Bill

That's a beautiful church!
ReplyDeleteIt's not the kind of church I'm used to seeing. The churches in Istanbul are a little different, I think because they date back to ancient times.
ReplyDeleteA nice modern church, we have quite a few of those here in NZ, look like a bit 1970s I think.
ReplyDeleteNice light but too much like so many churches here in the US. Not a fan of modern architecture myself.
ReplyDeleteWhat fabulous contrast.
ReplyDeleteUm belo edifício de linhas simples e bonitas! Gostei imenso!
ReplyDeleteUm grande abraço!
