Layout and Design

Krol Romeas is a circular structure. Other similar structures would have been built from perishable materials and wouldn’t have survived until today. Krol Romeas was built from stone and has lasted through the centuries.

When entering the circular wall, it’s like going back in time. The area seems untouched and there is plenty of wildlife still around with butterflies all over the place.
