As I got stuck in the village in one of its narrow roads I decided to take the second route, bypassing the village on the other side of the valley.
Doing that I stopped on the main road for some village shots and discovered the old stone bridge in the valley, on the far end lays the church hidden under huge trees.
This is the village above the valley ...
and here is the church which was closed up when I arrived first. There are ongoing reservations in- and outside the chapel and I needed 3 visits until I could get access with the help of the Mukhtar finally.
Here the first impression when you enter the place which is still half a building site
many of the frescoes need more work done as there is a layer of scum on them due to high humidity, which looks like blurry pics..
this detail looked strange to me with the eagle talon holding a plate or sign...
more details of this part
another area which needs a lot of renovation if that is possible..
this part is nearly perfect though
unfortunately most of the faces are damaged (not from humidity)
part of the dome
you would need a 360 image to see all the wall painting of that area..
right up
and finally last photo from inside where one can see some lunch utensils in the window...
....from the experts renovating this nice little church which is already worth a visit. I had a very good time with them, and of course they invited me for coffee and....more
