Thank you heathorn.

I presume that you are referring to Villa Capra “La Rotonda” huh. That is a magnificent building bro. What was your faculty, may I ask?

the portico and columns are Greece style
reminds me of my university assignment, the ‘capra rotunda’, hahah

Lovely photos bro! The place looks so peaceful, perfect for a religious building.

oh god i’m late. I’m sorry :/
It’s a beautiful church, i love old buildings and usually i don’t like modern construction. Too cold and … well straight, flawless.
When there’s not even one imperfection in a house for instance i think it lacks of charm.
The tombstones are great too, not the kind of stuff you could have in your own yard
Thanks again for introducing the beauties of Singapore to us.

@Lyli,
Yep, the tombs are magnificent. It was the first time I actually went inside to the church compound after staying in Singapore for years. I guess there are many hidden gems in Singapore which I’ve not explored despite the facts that I’ve been here for 15 years.

@rockleelotus,
Yep, I did went inside the church but not the parsonage house. However, I didn’t take any photos of the interior. You can view the nice photos of the interior from the official web I attached at the end of the post. The interior isn’t very big, but you can get to know the 18th century construction better

@chubbybots,
Architect is a good choice actually. See now, Singapore are doing constructions everyday. I like lego too. I was a lego maniac So, what did you major in?

@divinelight,
Yep, it’s very well kept since it has already become a national monument.

I don't know the Armenian, but as the oldest church, it's still great-looking. .-= divinelight´s last blog ..February Loot, Part 2 =-.

The tombstones by themselves are a work of art!!! I enjoy looking at old buildings and their architecture. I nearly wanted to be an architect in my early days ( play too much lego )

Awesome pictures man

A timeless building surrounded by modern structures… (as seen by the second pictures)
On the other side, next, you find yourself right into the context.
Tombs your took in panorama are superb! A remarkable work of sculpture. I appreciate it a lot.
Thanks for this new lesson
