Monastery, Glendalough, Ireland by nilbert

Description

	nilbert
	This is the monastery in Glendalough.The importance of the burial ground and of the circular shape in pre-Christian Celtic monuments was carried over into the Celtic Christian monastery. Graveyards were the most sacred place of a Celtic monastery, and were located within the walls of the monastery. This was very unusual, as in European monasteries or cities they were placed outside the walls.

Very nice! I love how the stones frame the path leading you to the monastery. It is very beautiful. I also like how the building is hidden but showing enough to entice you and make you want to see more. (At least, for me)

It is the most beautiful place in Ireland by far, but I haven't seen everywhere!
