Curtea-de-Arges





I'm not particularly fond of churches, except for the old wooden ones and a few monasteries in the North. But this is also one I like- it's the monastery in the legend of Manole, the mason who walled his wife in the foundation in order to prevent it from crushing every night.
We went there on a school trip at the end of November. Besides the beauty of the building itself, I like the story too. Because even if it's sad, it's true that creation often takes a toll. And I like the end, also.
I hope the Spanish translation is not awful!
