The architecture is lovely and the virtues/vices statues fascinating.
OdpovědětVymazatThe amount of time and effort that must have been spent on places like this is remarkable. Nice post.

The main part of the building is quite attractive. I cannot imagine a hospital being that old. Almost everything here in Canada is much younger than that.
OdpovědětVymazatMajestic building. So different from our contemporary concept of what a hospital looks like. The art is also amazing. Thanks for your comment. For some reason it did not appear on my post but I got it via email.
