St. John's Basicilca

This is one of the ancient churches where St. John is said to have spent the last of his days, and where he is buried. This was the last stop on our tour that started here, and then went here.


The fortress behind the church.


An ancient crypt.



Lucy strolling through the baptismal. Wonder if St. John himself baptised new believers here?





The area is pretty ruined, but still amazing.


A hallway- you can still see where the pipe was laid for the plumbing!!!


I just wonder... if they had plumbing way 2000 years ago, why does mine suck today. You'd think they'd have had enough time to perfect it!!!
