Dan’s Thursday Doors
I found a few more doors while looking for something else from Verona. I looked at some of my previous door posts and find that I seem to have gone from the older, not in such good shape to the really grand doors.
Swapping order to show this fabulous carved door first. All of the symbolism must mean something. I cut off the top of the doors surround unfortunately.

A bit plainer, but what it lacks in decoration, it still is of impressive size.

A bit of colour, some impressive hinges. Can you count how many ways to open the doors?

A bit of shabby chic with a wonderful cast iron decoration above the door. I wonder what type of refuge it is?

Three, four ways to open the teal door? It appears to have three vertical panels, besides the tiny human gate.
Lovely.

I didn’t stay long enough in Verona. Seeing these doors made me think that I should’ve.

It’s a lovely city. Have to be there for market days and I was lucky enough to be there for a Cheese Festival 😋

It is definitely lovely but we were there only for a stopover… saw Juliet’s balcony of course and then lunch…that’s it. Maybe should visit again sometime.

These are wonderful doors. I love the mechanical aspect of that 5-way door. Making those hinges must have been interesting. That second, large door is my favorite, today, although it wasn’t easy to choose.

that blue door — horses, carriages and people. I had a photo of a Verona door that was red in a medieval building near Piazza della Erbe. It was at the end of a short alley. On it was written, in black spray paint, “Sex Pistols” and an anarchy symbol. It was just coolly anachronistic.

I don’t know how many ways you can open those blue doors. I guess it depends on how big the two gentlemen entering are.

Lovely doors from a lovely city. I was there once for a few hours with a tour group and really liked the city. Before that, I only knew of it as the city from Shakespeare’s world 😀. You can find my post about that trip in my travel blog if you’d like to read. https://reflectionsontheriver.wordpress.com/tag/Verona/?orderby=date&order=asc
