Well Worth the Admission!
Viewing the eighteen cells and tower was both eerie and mind-boggling. To think of how some people chose, or were perhaps forced to leave is hard to grasp. I kept wondering, what did this architect have in mind? What was he thinking when he designed these eighteen cells? And check out the two communal bathtubs! The grounds are not huge, or nearly as big as others such as Santa Clara, but very pretty.
