Wow - this one really took off! The correct answer: Chapel of the Holy Trinity, inside Lublin Castle, Poland 🇵🇱 A Gothic shell with Orthodox-style frescoes, a rare East-meets-West gem. Let me show you around in this short thread 🧵
You probably haven’t seen this one - it’s from my hometown. A Gothic chapel hiding Rutheno-Byzantine frescoes, inside a castle. Know where this is? 📍 As always - No googling, no AI.

I don't know who needs to read this, but “even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise.” I've started reading the Polish translation of 'De vita Caesarum' by Suetonius, and this is foreword from author of translation.

John Ruskin called Bellini’s Frari Triptych "Best pure oil picture in the world without use of gold”. He may have had a point. Painting is still hanging in the Basilica dei Frari in Venice.

Dlatego nie chce mi się wchodzić w dyskusje w necie. W odpowiedzi na "kontrowersyjną opinię" mamy pokaz braku umiejętności czytania ze zrozumieniem, bluzgi, powierzchowną znajomość historii i całkowity psychiatryk.
Historia Polski liczy sobie nie tysiąc, a dokładnie 82 lata. Przedtem istniało na tych ziemiach inne państwo o tej samej nazwie, ale między nim a Polską współczesną nie ma żadnego ewolucyjnego następstwa — kultura, polityka, kształt i rola elit, narodowe wyzwania i ambicje, nawet struktura społeczna są zupełnie nowe, skonstruowane od zera po II wojnie światowej.
