Padula, Italy
Our our 2003 travel through Italy our friends Chis and Carmen Grant captured us walking along the emense chiostro.
The certosa is an example of Southern Baroque (17-18th Century) architecture. Construction actually started in the 14th Century and was completed sometime in the 19th Century.

We stayed nearby at
the Agriturismo La Fonte, which was a real find. Friendly owners, good
clean accomodations. There on the property are the remains of the early
Christian baptisrey of Sazn Giovanni in Fonte from the 5th-6th Century.
The font is fed by a spring and the Maria and Michela have a set of
trout breeding ponds. |
