Manastirea Argesului, in 1993

This is a piece of Romanian architecture completing well the one in

the photo I have just submitted for critique. Note the spiral at the

towers.

It is one of the photos I have taken most longly ago, and the film,

which wasn't of exceptional quality when new, wasn't in the best state

either when scanned.

There is a legend about the way this monastery was built. The main

builder, Mesterul Manole, had to sacrifice his wife, by building her

into the wall, after the walls built over the day kept falling down

during the night. The builders agreed to sacrifice the wife who will

come first to bring food and drink to her husband, and this was the

one of the main builder. After this, the monastery became the most

beautiful one ...
