Poor Atlantes

[topum]

Moldova's and Romania's Roma (Gypsy) villages are home to some of the most hideous architecture I have ever seen. We are going to a Roma wedding in a main Roma town in Moldova soon and I hope to do a detailed report on the famous architecture of the Gypsy Hill.

This house in a small Roma village I drove past today is modest and tasteful compared to the typical palaces on the Hill:

Interesting structure.  Looks like a mixture of Roman and something else.  Not sure about the something else.  Might be some Greek in there too.  Romans had the round columns Greek did square..or maybe It's the other way around.  Ha!  I get the two confused sometimes.

It's an interesting and odd combination. I'm definitely looking forward to your detailed report!

It looks like a cross between a lighthouse and a sanitarium.
