Azize Barbara Sapeli (Chapel of Santa Barbara)

The charm of the Chapel of Santa Barbara lies in its typical decoration of the iconoclastic period. Such decoration (eighth and ninth century) prohibits "realistic" depictions of people and animals. So the chapel is decorated with abstraction and expressiveness that are absolutely unique. The paintings are a blend of strength, ingenuity and very special abstraction. The bricks are painted with a like and animals are reduced to simple doodles. In addition to these great paintings, there's an ancient altar where the priest presided over the Mass ... A must!
