Workshops , Greece, Thessaloníki, 02 June 2010
72 churches on a small peninsula that extends within a placid lake in the mountains Macedonian Greek. Kastoria is unique and precious jewel that keeps small Byzantine sacred architecture in the prevalence of X and XII century.
The games of stones and bricks interwoven, that make these chapels of worship to use private property of those families of Albanian origin who traded beaver skins, are the nerve center of an architecture that was still visible radiation and evidence Greece, Calabria (Cattolica of Stilo, San Marco in Rossano) and Bulgaria (Nesebar).
The game is simple harmonic and of the apses and decorations made of terracotta, with the serenity of the place, made up of squares where children are playing loudly and joyfully, tranquility with its fresh Lagor grebes and pelicans, magnificent frescoes, quiet and dying, only make Kastoria.
