Places to see in ( Taormina - Italy ) Chiesa di San Pancrazio
The church of San Pancrazio is a place of worship located along the San Pancrazio climb in the municipality of Taormina , archpriest of Taormina. The Temple of Zeus Serapis is attested by the findings of marble with epigraphs, respectively in 1861 and 1867, the statue of Priestess of Isis, a gold ring of the Priest of the temple of Jupiter Serapis found in 1742 engraving. The main facade of the church facing east incorporates a monumental baroque portal , fruit of the delicate combination of white and pink marble with variegated mottling, a brief theory of four steps in stone of Taormina connects the churchyard with the temple hall.
The protruding structure is delimited by lateral ionic style columns , a couple prospectively advanced and elevated on high plinths , whose Corinthian capitals support an architrave , determined by the intersection of the three corresponding faces, rich in articulated moldings . The central passage is therefore delimited by two oblique niches with central shelves . The corbels house marble sculptures, on the right stands the San Procopio statue in bishop's clothes, iconographically depicted with the heart in the right hand raised, signifying martyrdom suffered by the Saracens on 1 August 902 led byIbrāhīm ibn Ahmed . On the left the statue of another saint in bishop's clothes, probably San Pancrazio or San Massimo his successor on the Tauromenitana chair. The perspective of the simple wall bordered by angular lateral pilasters closes with a triangular pediment that includes a blind oculus , at the top the wrought iron cross decorated with rays at the intersection of the two arms.
On the right side above the sacristy in a backward position rises the bell tower, the middle part is built with squared blocks of Taormina stone. the upper order has four round arches , one on each side with jambs , arches and arched stone keys of Taormina delimited by convex pilasters , which form the open-air openings of the belfry .
On the balcony there is an octagonal lantern with arched openings on alternate facets, in turn surmounted by a small dome with a small lantern surmounted by a stone sphere bearing a wrought iron cross with a wind vane . To the four corners of the cornice of the gallery there is a crenellation with double volute motifs, which recalls the top decoration of the pillars of the wrought iron gate that leads to the sacred area.
