Calvinist College library

We returned to Sárospatak specifically to see this famous library (we had to make an appointment as nobody was there last visit) and to photograph the last of the Makovecz works in town. The Neo-Classical masterpiece was designed by Mihály Pollack, is supported by 16 marble columns and has a magnificent ceiling depicting a dome. Photographing it and processing the result were not easy ;-).
