Тишина и спокойствие этого места обнимают, как старая добрая книга. Камни под ногами — вековые свидетели истории, а старинные стены, будто шёпотом, рассказывают свои тайны тем, кто готов слушать. Солнце, пробивающееся сквозь окна, играет на лицах с разноцветными лучами, придавая всему вокруг немного сказочной атмосферы. Ощущение времени здесь будто замирает, и только легкие шаги напоминают, что мы ещё здесь, среди живых. В сердце остается тепло и тихая радость.
