LaPetiteSoeur Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 Their cloister columns look ALMOST IDENTICAL to the columns in The Cloisters in New York. SOOOOOO pretty.
ceciliatherese Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 Soo pretty; which community is it? Do they have a website?
Chiara Francesco Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 I love this convent, so beautiful. Makes me think of Kylemore Abbey in Ireland: http://www.kylemoreabbey.com/
