Rows of skulls lined up in this dark tunnel with a silhouette seen in the background. It's an image that makes you stop and think.

Elena Dumitrescu I would also like to see this picture closer.
Григорий Голубев This tunnel has old brick arches, probably from the end of the 19th century, you can tell by the way the vaults are placed.
Николай Костов It looks like a place that sends chills down your spine when you walk in.
Florian Becker Yes, the bricks look really old. This church is dedicated to Saint Demetrius the Martyr.
Piotr Wiśniewski Yes, those old bricks really stand out in the background.
Anna Moore Is this the catacomb under the church of St Dimitrie? Are they open for visitors on weekdays or only after liturgy on Sundays?
Christopher Scott The brickwork does look late 19th century like Grigory said. Anna, from what I read they only open for visitors right after Sunday liturgy.
Alexandru Matei Cărămizile de pe boltă par destul de uzate, se vede cum s-a scurs mortarul între ele de-a lungul timpului.
