Юлія Марченко The bricks on the walls are as smooth as if they were laid yesterday. And that dark roof stands out well against the background of trees.
Наталья Макарова Interesting details about Peter Raresh, I didn’t know that he was Stefan’s illegitimate son. When and where did you take the photo? Did you go there in the summer?
Gheorghe Munteanu Moldova is dedicated to Saint George, as it says on the wall at the entrance. That brick so straight belongs to their old technique from 1532, not yesterday.
