Small historical church still in use. Be respectful of worshipers inside.

Wow, what a church! Slot machines, an exhibit of stuffed marmots, and a free serving of grapefruit sorbet for every visitor—would you believe it? ??? Well, you shouldn't, it's a church like any other old church (unless you know something specific about churches, which I don't). It's a peaceful place to sit and contemplate the old stained glass windows and wooden sculptures, surrounded by the smell of old stone and wood.

Beautiful building. I enjoy churches like this one’s architecture. It is truly a remarkable building well worth a visit.

Beautiful 12th Century Medieval Church in the Old Town of A Coruña and near Praza de Maria Pita - visited by Pilgrims on their way to visit the tomb of St. James in the city of Santiago de Compostela.

An old church in the Old District of the city , mixing the original Romanic style with the others across the Historical Ages . Part of a former Catholic Complex , it's for sure a monument to visit and see with open eyes .

Celje Castle

Celje Castle was once the largest fortification on Slovenian territory. The first fortified building on the site (a Romanesque palace) was built in the first half of the 13th century by the Counts of Heunburg from Carinthia on the stony outcrop on the western side of the ridge where the castle stands. It had five sides, or four plus the southern side, which was a natural defence. The first written records of the castle date back to between 1125 and 1137; it was probably built by Count Gunter. In the western section of the castle, there was a building with several floors. Remains of the walls of this palatium have survived. In the eastern section, there was an enclosed courtyard with large water reservoirs. The eastern wall, which protects the castle from its most exposed side, was around three metres thicker than the rest of the curtain wall. The wall was topped with a parapet and protected walkway.
