these very old saxon fortified churches are mostly abandoned since the 2nd wave of migration of saxon (german ethnic) minority out of romania (southern transylvania) in the nineties. Some the buildings are over 600 years old, at least partly.

On your back whilst taking this picture is a church called Fara Poznanska. My picture in post #61 is taken there. Also the following picture is taken in frond of that church just around the corner from where you took your picture.

In general, this area around there is about 70% of my picture in Poland

I like very much your young lady in red. And the other one is that the Doheny Synagogue? The Byzantine style brickwork suggests it may be. When I was there I spent some time poking around the old Jewish Quarter in District 7 - it was so atmospheric and redolent of the past. One of the spots that amazed me were the seven interconnecting courtyard squares (each surrounded by apartments) of Gozsdu Udvar which at that time (a little before 2000) seemed abandoned but has been renovated since and is now mega trendy.
