This is a merge of two shots to show one of the beautiful courtyards of La Rábida Monastery.
La Rábida was damaged by the Lisbon earthquake in 1755 and was left derelict. In 1835 restoration works began; it reopened in 1856 when it was declared a national monument. In 1920 Fransican monks returned to the convent and monks continue to live there today.
Many thanks for your views, comments and fav's on yesterday's picture.
Very impressive , stunning colour combinations and symmetrical design with the beautiful archways and flowers to soften the severity of the design in the tiles !
I like the Arches & the pots of bright colour.
