Round buildings/structures have been used as temples in very early times. In Early Christianity round buildings were used as churches, chapels, baptisteries or ossuaries.
Round buildings like Santo Stefano Rotondo (Rome) or San Vitale (Ravenna) have influenced architecture for centuries. When from around 1000 on, the floor plan of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem was widely distributed, many rotunda got erected. Especially the Knights Templar spread the architectonic idea all over…
A cloister (from latin claustrum) is a part of cathedral and abbey architecture. A cloister consists usually of four corridors, with a courtyard or quad in the middle.
This group is dedicated to the monastic development between the end of the Roman Empire and the Reformation, i.e. architecturally from pre-Romanesque to Gothic. The region of interest includes Central Europe but also Eastern Europe, the former Byzantine Empire and the Levant.

A graffiti is always illegal, while n inscription is always legal.
Please do not add "modern" graffiti, created after 1950.
