This was the first week of doing BWT full-time! From February onwards, we are planning to invest most of our time in this project. As part of this, we will also spend more time exploring! In one week, we want to travel to France to see the country and experience its numerous grand and imposing abandoned sites. Hopefully, COVID is not upsetting our plans again! We want to spend at least two weeks on the road (which also means there might be some delays with our next upload). For updates check our Instagram stories!

Grab a shovel!

Firstly, I would like to say that your videos are simply mind blowing. Secondly, I can't believe how crappy our modern architecture is compared to what we were making just 100-200 years ago.

This monastery was a Franciscan Friary and yes possibly an orphanage as well. That statue outside is of St Anthony of Padua holding the child Jesus. The frescoes inside the Chapel are the depiction of the saints, God, Christ, the Virgin Mary, and an angel soothing the souls in purgatory by pouring water from a jug, etc.... Sundial looking frescoes are symbols of Christ as in the host after the consecration. The tunnels usually were built to hide from the enemies of the Church during the war, etc... I hope that helps.

Archangels Raphael and Gabriel, the former appearing to a young Tobias (with the fishes). The frescos are anachronistic to the walls that they adorn, having been painted after the structure. The allegories aren’t as esoteric as they would be in 17/1800s visual language.

Thank you again. I feel a profound sadness when I tour these abandoned places with you. I know I choose to watch or not, but over all I'm grateful for the time and effort you put into these glimpses to the past. My emotional response surprises me. These things I know: 1. Any monastery with such a tunnel downward into town cannot escape the shadows of the past as it was. God knows. 2. I'm afraid of heights, so you really got to me while lightly stepping around those roof peaks! 😯 Does your group have a certain person that volunteers for that role?? 3. Loved to see those swallows chilling! Thanks again. I love the art and architecture of these places, even though they are disintegrating and returning to dust!

The tunnel was for Wartime as a hiding spot and exit point. Nothing neferious as you might believe.

Now I can comment your latest video, guys. This church ist absolutely stunning. In Italy people are very religious, and so their churches remain relatively untouched, how lucky are we? I do not understand all the symbolism shown, but on some of the drawings we can surely see angels who either defeat an angry demon or talk to the poor souls in hell or maybe purgatory. I am always amazed, when you show a certain spot like the old well in the yard and then the photograph you took. Your pictures do really refine every location shown. And about the rotten pictures there - nature is an artist in its own way. Thank you for showing us this interesting and touching place.

Such a beautiful church. Hope it will stay as is. Without graffiti or vandalism.

Oh my! What a beauty! 😍 Thank you for taking us along! I enjoy watching respectful explorers like you. Keep up the great work! 🤜🤛

I hope, this was not an asylum like the horrors we know from Byberry in Philadelphia, USA. It's so intriguing to wander these empty halls and to concentrate on the past, I am sure you could hear voices in the walls......

Incredible, high quality footage and context. Nice, thx!

It seems as though the nave was repainted in a more contemporary style, and it seems anachronistic against the architectural details of the building. 6:13 // Depiction of a young Tobias and the apparition of the archangel (possibly) Raphael. 6:20 // Likely archangel Gabriel (of water and of the West) raining consolation unto the damned. Most likely not a depiction of a saint, though perhaps St. Justa, who was martyred along with her sister for refusing to adorn the feast of Adon and Venus with their pottery (AD 287). 6:32 // Perhaps an allegory of the chaining to evil (the demon, the devil) those in power are liable to. The pan is a pagan symbol used to portray demonic/evil elements, debauchery, etc.. With an angel looking away in horror.

Stunning video, adore the architecture and how nature is gradually taking this place back. I really hope they can stay untouched. Can't wait to get out and start urbex exploring again.... Amazing find guys, looking forward to the next video
