Eventually the walls draw in so closely that you could leap across with little fear, but then the narrow space opens into a hidden canyon in the heart of the hills. A sprawling monastery with dark, narrow windows and red tile rooftops stands in the middle of this natural amphitheater, ringed by sandstone cliffs all around.  A dusty footpath circles the building.A weathered flight of stone steps leads up to the closed monastery doors. The plain doors are made of heavy timber with iron studs.  A small door, perhaps a servants' entrance, is on the northwest side of the monastery. On the northeast side, a low wall encloses a unkempt garden with a gate. The eastern portion of the monastery is in very poor repair—the walls there are crumbling, and the windows have been bricked up with old masonry. A small side door is near that section, in the southeast portion of the building.  The rest of the monastery appears to have received some recent repairs.As you scout the clifftop you see little sign of activity at the top, they seem to rely on isolation and solitude for defense.  Below, the dusty footpath does seem to have regular use, but currently there is no one outside.<img src="https://db4sgowjqfwig.cloudfront.net/campaigns/119936/assets/510060/SacredStone_thumb_1_.jpg?1443189548" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /></blockquote>
