Old Town Kosice

I love Europe. I love exploring old European towns with my camera.

Kosice has a great “old town” area or main street with beautiful cobblestone streets and plenty of historic buildings to point your camera towards.

This is the State Theatre.

There are at least 3 or 4 old churches and cathedrals on the main strip, the biggest and oldest being the Cathedral of St Elizabeth. Built in the beautiful gothic style, it is a sight to behold. The cathedral itself took over 200 years to complete, and as such, has varying architectural elements that add to the character of this magnificent building. This angle actually has St Michael’s Chapel in the foreground.

I snuck a peak inside this church, which after taking a couple quick snaps was ushered away by a stern looking tour guide, obviously upset I didn’t take him up on his offer for a tour.

I am still going through photos from yesterday and today, and I will be putting together numerous posts on this beautiful city – but I will be in Kiev for the next 4 days and I am sure I will have plenty of things to fill my frame in that wonderful city.
