Wow – you were right, quite a few churches! They’re all so beautiful, too. It’s a shame we don’t build buildings like that anymore – with so much thought, effort and style. Built to last many many lifetimes.

This was just a few of the ones there!
It’s no surprise to see such fabulous architectural churches wherever you go since they really are a part of our history.
They really are, but there was a lot of them!
Those look like very beautiful churches. The places look deserted, though. Where are the local and tourists? 🙂
