That is a beautiful altar.

So much, too much lost through the violence of war.

It is beautiful, VP. There are no signs of the war damage 70 years ago.

It's exquisite... and in a way, not over the top, like you might expect with a Catholic church.

Very pretty VP.

Gunn said...

Wow, it is really pretty.
Nice light, but a bit strange to see the windows so high up on the walls.
