01. Dark Ages (14th century) rooftops look rather peculiar nowadays. The Colț church and monastery was built in 1310 - 1315, with later additions
Robintel.ro:
02. The monastery church is built of stone with no foundation (base), with abutment
Robintel.ro:
03. The square tower also served as protection for the monks
Robintel.ro:
04. The tower of the Colț church has a vertical and difficult ladder
Robintel.ro:
05. Despite the fact that stone keeps the church cold, modern-day air conditioning units were mounted
Robintel.ro:
06. Close-up of the air conditioning units, infuriating me
Robintel.ro:
07. For political marketing reasons, the authorities that funded the necessary repairs to the road leading to the monastery, mounted some marble plaques with such trivial details right next to the monastery entrance
Robintel.ro:
08. The roadside cross and the derrick of the Colț church
Robintel.ro:
09. Access to the church is done using some crinkum-crankum stairs
Robintel.ro:
10. Monastery annexes are discretely out of sight
Robintel.ro:
11. Modern-day loud-speakers are mounted on the stone walls
Robintel.ro:
12. Close-up of the loud-speakers on the church walls
Robintel.ro:
13. This is really something, having loud-speakers on a very old wall (hw about vibration?)
Robintel.ro:
14. Large boulders near the roadside fence
Robintel.ro:
15. Some of the boulders are really big, I am not sure whether or not they are naturally occurring
