Balkan 14

 In Split, Diocletian’s Palace 

The narrow passages lead to a very ancient church, with a courtyard.

And beautiful bronze doors. 

The interior is round 

The pulpit 

The altar arrayed for Lent

The small organ 

A side chapel

Outside are Egyptian Sphinxes. There used to be about 13: but most were smashed as belonging to non-Christian religions. These survived. 

Then the rain resumed with some vigor, so we stopped for hot soup. 

Next, to the shore.
