Aesthetically Perplexing Messina

Downtown Messina, Italy
Of course, panoramas can also be vertical…  Here is an image also from Messina which is a bit bizarre but I find the contrasts involved an interesting curiosity.  A terrible earthquake in 1908 destroyed most of the city.  It was later reconstructed with some pieces of the old city salvaged.  Here, a modern structure was built using a corner from what the earthquake didn't destroy.  The result is a bit of an aesthetic perplexity!
