Flash back to Romania and St. Nicholas' cathedral/church in Brasow here.
Have read conflicting accounts as to whether St. Nicholas' is a church or cathedral, but I think it's the latter, and the outside of the building is covered in interesting-looking, old frescoes:
The one below, which looks to be a lot more modern, seems to be of St. Nicholas himself:
But the artwork I liked best was the gateway leading through to the graveyard part of the cathedral/church grounds:
But the old frescoes were still incredibly ipressive:
Just read on the internet that St. Nicholas' was originally built as a wooden structure in the 12th/13th centuries, but was later rebuilt as a stone building in the late 15th century.
This fresco which seems to be of the Assumption would have to be my favourite one on the cathedral/church walls:
And the front of the church building is incredibly statuesque:
And to put the icing on the cake, this beautiful cathedral/church is surrounded by beautiful, steep, green hills:
