Description
Abbaye de Fontfroide, Narbonne, France, was founded by Cistercian monks in 1093. Fontfroide Abbey became one of southern France’s most powerful ecclesiastical centres during the Middle Ages. Heavily damaged during the Revolution, it was purchased in 1908 by the French painter Gustave Fayet and his wife, Madeleine, who restored much of the building. The beautiful cloisters form the center of the abbey complex, and the arcades around the cloisters consist of impressive stone arches each with multiple columns and capital stones.

Stunning architecture. The photo for me brings both the rawness of age and the detailed artistic skill needed in construction to life. I almost hear the echos of history. Lovely.
