Jurilovca / Enisala, in full

Jurilovca is a Lipovan village on the shore of Lake Razim. Boats leave from here for Gura Portiței and Cape Doloșman, where the ruins of Argamum / Orgame stand.

Enisala, a few kilometres away, is the medieval citadel on the hill, with views over the lagoon. The two places are read together: water village and land citadel.

The Lipovans are Old Believers. Churches with blue domes are not decoration: they are Old Ritual faith, brought after 1654.
