One arch and one plaque

In general, I plan to write again soon about the architecture and atmosphere of this coastal town of Nessebar, this time from the perspective of a person who not only went there to take pictures, but then also processed and described those pictures, dug around on the Internet and looked for information, entered a little or very much into the history of the buildings, not that deep, but still enough, touched the details of the architecture to a greater extent than just photographing them.
For me personally, it's one of the things I love to do the most, and it's more or less the same or at least close to blogging, the blog I had years ago - about secret and little-known places. After all, secrets and mysteries can be found even in famous and much-visited places. One just has to look more, also, one has to carry a camera. Some things can be easily seen, but they need to be documented, archived.
Then, when you already have their image with you, you can reflect on them at home, look at them and wonder about them. Sometimes you won't find an answer, sometimes you'll just wonder about them. Sometimes you won't even want to find an answer. Personally, I want some secrets to remain undiscovered, so that there is something to admire, something to think about, so that there are more interesting things in this world. And there is a lot of them, I have written about it another time here.
So let's get started. I'm going to show you an extraordinary thing, something I haven't looked for answers to, but I'm sure I won't find online. It's just one detail, two details, but what details!

Imagine living in this building. Amazing, isn't it? A Byzantine arch greets the entrance and you almost wonder what it is, is it a museum, one of the many churches around or ruins that have so many of these same arches.

And it's not just that. There is a plaque on the side. There is a cross on it, it even looks like the Templar one, there are some letters and incomprehensible symbols. And a year. Only the year is clear, and that is 1864. Well, ok, it's not exactly ancient. But it is strange enough, curious and perhaps mystical. In any case, it is a kind of riddle, the answer to which only the residents of this building know for sure.
And there are residents. There's even an obituary on the door. Some bearer of ancient knowledge?

Imagine the burden of living in this building. The building that carries so much history in itself, and only one arch and one plaque have been preserved from it. The burden is even greater that way. I'm sure.

I know there are many countries where such historical artefacts are embedded in modern buildings, but embedding in such a plain, bordering on ugly building can only be seen for sure here. And yet this settlement, the old town of Nessebar, is not famous for its very ugly architecture. Or at least it is a small and inconspicuous part of all the other buildings. I'll show you next.

	Soul's Detour is a project started by me years ago when I had a blog about historical and not so popular tourist destinations in Eastern Belgium, West Germany and Luxembourg. Nowadays, this blog no longer exists, but I'm still here - passionate about architecture, art and mysteries and eager to share my discoveries and point of view with you.

Personally, I am a sensitive soul with a strong sense of justice.
Traveling and photography are my greatest passions.
Sounds trivial to you?
No, it's not trivial. Because I still love to travel to not so famous destinations.🗺️
Of course, the current situation does not allow me to do this, but I still find a way to satisfy my hunger for knowledge, new places, beauty and art.
Sometimes you can find the most amazing things even in the backyard of your house.😊🧐🧭|
