The stone church on the hill appears tranquil among the trees. The man at the front seems to have stopped for a moment to look.
Biserica de piatră de pe deal arată liniștită între copaci. Omul acela din față pare să se fi oprit o clipă să se uite.

Θεοδώρα Αντωνίου That stone is quite old, probably from the 17th century. The vault at the entrance is typical for the small hill churches here.
Marija Pavlović The stone arch at the entrance is lower than it appears in the picture, typical of the 17th century, but the foundation looks even older, perhaps from around 1600. The man in front actually matches the staircase.
Sophia Scott The stonework on the side walls looks pretty rough even for 17th century, the blocks aren't squared off much at all.
Monitoring I would like to see that one up close sometime. The rough blocks Sophia mentioned do look older than the vault.
Ilie Stoica This church is dedicated to Saint Ilia. The foundation really seems to have been laid long before that low vault.
Мария Соловьёва The foundation looks even older than the vault, those rough blocks on the sides look as if they were in the ground hundreds of years before the 17th century. The man in front gives a good idea of how low the door actually is.
