Monte Cassino

Whose monastery is this?

It's a pretty one, sitting on top of a big hill overlooking a wide valley. This has to be one of the most influential religious foundations anywhere in the world.

 


This is shot from a different angle, but you might be able to tell from the rooftops that the architecture has changed significantly.


Looking a bit worse for wear. There's quite a story associated with this photograph, which was taken during World War II.
