Amazing viaduct built in 1500 to bring water to the convent in Tamor. No one there you can walk alone the top of the viaduct if you want. I did see 1 girl doing that, must have a head for heights no Czytaj więcej

This is the convent that the viaduct was built for. High on the hill overlooking the town is this amazing place. Walled for defence and near the castle it is very large and ornate.

A bit out of sequence here. This is the Templar castle that adjoins the convent shown earlier. The castle now just consists of its walls the walk around them is free.
