This is such a wonderful place, so small and so sacred.
It was a surprise find
It is beautiful. More of a personal space than that offered by the bigger churches and the like.
It had a lovely feel about it
My kind of place; intriguing.
It was quite unexpected.
It never ceases to amaze me the skill and knowledge of people from the past.
The church space carved within the cliff leads to wonderment…
The actual chapel looks very different to the one shown on the information board?!
Ha ha… Just like MacDonald’s burgers.
Did you read the information board?
It was about one of the artists, inspired Ravello
