Branislav Stanković The light that falls on the walls seems to slow everything down and make a person breathe more deeply. Thanks for sharing.
George Anderson Those stone blocks look like they've been there since the 12th century at least. The way they fitted them without mortar is still holding up perfectly.
Claudia Wagner The joints look like they were cut with a knife.
Христо Христов Where exactly is this place? Are there services on Saturday evenings or just Sunday mornings, and do they allow visitors during the week?
Людмила Шевчук This is the church of St. George, so there is usually an all-night service there on Saturday evening. The stones are really perfectly fitted, it is hard to imagine how it was put together by hand.
Роман Богданов The stones have clearly been there for at least eight centuries, and the seams between them are so even that even now few people can do it.
Богдан Гончар I would like to see these stones up close.
Татьяна Лебедева The stones really look as if they were laid without any mortar, and in eight centuries not a single one has moved.
