Bible (or blible) written by ET and bad spirits? Is that right? If so, it's the weirdest graffiti I've seen on a church.

I really like the stone, and the steps and archway in the last photo.

Yes, i think that's what it says :-) (...very bad spirits...)

I loved the exterior of this church - I don't know if I captured it very well. We found it in the evening. The next day was a national holiday, so that doubled the chances of not getting inside.

I love that this church is so old--

Fabulous building! It's interesting that style of doorway looks to have been fairly widespread in the 12-13th century.

Thanks for pointing out the typo. That's what I get for mentioning the misspelling. (Guess I'm glad I'm not writing on 12th cent. stone.)

Whooo...so deliously old! And "robust" is really the perfect word for it.

Oh, and nighttime shots are so cool!
