Description The Cârța Monastery, a former Cistercian monastery, is pictured here from one of its sides, conjuring the romanticism that is beloved in medieval ruins. The photo was taken on a sunny fall afternoon in the Țara Făgărașului region of Romania in southern Transylvania. Cârța Monastery was started around 1202 by a group of Cistercian monks from Egres Abbey in the then-kingdom of Hungary. Cistercian architecture is considered some of the most beautiful of the Middle Ages, and walking the grounds of the Monastery indeed evoked a profound sense of gratitude, awe, and peace in the shadow of its beauty that I can call up to this day. Such experiences contribute to our resilience as individuals, and as communities, and reminds us as global members of society that seeking to consistently better ourselves and our planet is a constant evolution.
描述 卡尔察修道院曾是一座西多会修道院，此处展示的是它的一侧，让人联想到中世纪废墟中备受喜爱的浪漫主义风格。照片拍摄于罗马尼亚特兰西瓦尼亚南部法格拉什地区一个阳光明媚的秋日午后。卡尔察修道院大约于1202年由一群来自当时匈牙利王国埃格雷什修道院的西多会修士始建。西多会建筑被认为是中世纪最美丽的建筑之一，漫步在修道院的庭院中，在其美丽的映衬下，确实唤起了一种深深的感恩、敬畏与平和之情，至今我仍能清晰回忆起那种感受。这样的经历有助于我们作为个体和社区的复原力，并提醒我们作为全球社会的成员，不断追求自我和我们星球的进步是一个持续的进化过程。
