Closer to God

Meteora

http://www.pbase.com/jorge1822/greece

The Monastery of Holy Trinity is very difficult to reach. The visitor has to cross the valley and continue high up through the rock before we arrive outside the entrance. The church is in the cross-in-square type with the dome based in two columns, built in 1475-76 and decorated in 1741. The spacious barrel - vaulted esonarthex was founded in 1689 and decorated in 1692. A small skeuophylakeion was added next to the church in 1684.

This was so astounding I had to look it up. "The thing that makes Meteora so special is
the monasteries on the top of the rock towers. The monasteries,the amound of peaks to climb and the paths for hiking brings in Meteora the whole year many tourists."
Beautiful, I'd love to see this. Thanks for putting it up.

I think that's too difficult to read the comments using this color. It may be useful to change it ?.. Patrick
