It's hard to see it, but there's a covered bridge over the river, and on the right-hand side of the bank, there's a square building that used to serve as a toll booth in Roman times.
A first impression of the submerged church. The water is really a reservoir for a hydroelectric plant that was built in between the two world wars. It displaced several villages and only the church steeple remains.
A graveyard on a hill above the submerged church. (We were just across the Austrian border in Italy.)
The graves are always well taken care of, and fresh plants are planted year round.
From the graveyard, notice the church steeple in the background.
The graveyard above the church--the building in the back is a chapel.
The submerged church from the graveyard. Notice the snowcapped mountains in the background.
Some "tombstones" are made out of wrought iron and intricately decorated.
Another view of the outside of the chapel. The inside was too dark to take a picture.
Just too cool not to take another picture of it.
A weird dial in the ground next to the submerged church that has all of the astrological signs on it.
The group standing outside the convent in the graveyard.
