Certosa di S. Lorenzo
Padula, Italy
Padula, Italy
Our 2003 travel through Italy our friends Chis and Carmen Grant captured us walking along the 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. |
