A shot of the ribbed vault in the choir of the church in St.Ilgen. A few years ago the walls were restaurated to former glory (though it is a newer style than the building itself, but if at that time any paintings decorated the walls none of them have survived long enough to be restored) The small village has been first mentioned around the year 920 and the church isn’t much younger.
The Saint Donatus church (Sv. Donat) in Zadar (Croatia) is a beautiful Pre-Romanesque / Byzantine (9th century) church. The massive dome of the rotunda is surrounded by a vaulted gallery in two stories which also extends around the three apses to the east. In the foundations that are partially open to see one can spot parts of various columns that used to be part of the old Roman forum. This lead to the traditional belief that this church was built on the site of a temple of Juno (though that is now disputed and believed to be a wrong conclusion). Location: Zadar (Croatia)

This small river pond with a weir is situated in the middle of Uffing. The winter light made the colours and contrasts particularly attractive on that late December day. St. Agatha’s church is in the background. Parts of this building date back to 1480, although there may have been a church of some kind here since the 9th century. By the way, Adri mentioned the tower which is very typical for the southern parts of Bavaria, called an “onion tower” (Zwiebelturm) or “Welsh Bonnet” (welsche Haube) – “Welsch” meaning foreign or strange and not from the country of Wales:-) Location: Uffing am Staffelsee, Upper Bavaria, Germany.
