As if cut out of the steel-blue sky, the sharp edges of the precise surfaces of the rhombic dodecahedron form a crystal, a great garnet. It rises above the grass of the barren alpine floor trembling in the wind, floating above a lakeshore and yet firmly anchored, reflecting in the clear water, defiant against rain and storm, setting itself apart from the ski lifts and mountain restaurants.
Shimmering in the sunlight, simple and sublime, not subordinating, yet respectful of the eternal mountain backdrop. Earth colour, rock grey and dark red interpenetrate in its crystal form - the colours of garnet. A cross, carefully cut out of one face of the rhombic dodecahedron, as a sign of faith.
A spiritual place, a place of prayer, silence, devotion, contemplation:
the GRANATE CHAPEL, CAPELLA GRANATA.
