Шикарное место! Съездила туда- отдохнула душой и телом!Замечательные люди, красивые достопримечательности) Всем советую)))
На самом деле место интересно не столь своей архитектурой,сколько своей историей или только мне так показалось? Тем не менее,съездить в любом случае стоит.
Удивительное архитектурное творение,остаётся только умиляться над таким шедевром.Но больше всего меня поразила история этого могучего здания,сколько оно всего перенесло и в данный момент всё равно радует глаз. Мы с семьёй однажды там были,я надеюсь,что ещё туда вернусь.
