Horezu Monastery
Horezu Monastery, Romania
This monastery was established in 1690 by the ruler Prince Constantine Brancoveanu, and is a World Heritage site. See Horezu at http://www.cimec.ro/Monumente/Lpm/UNESCO/Hurezi/hurezien. The style with a two-tiered gallery is called Post-Byzantine Art Synthesis, aulic art, see http://www.academia.edu/1402368/The_Aulic_Dimensions_of_Post-Byzantine_Art._The_Case_of_Wallachia_16th-17th_centuries_.
The monastery complex is in active use. Here, an elderly monk. Sometimes the facades at monasteries are similar, but I recall that this was also at Horezu.
