Doors (of Verona)

Dans Thursday Doors

On Mondays Window I posted the Windows of Verona that I found while looking for something else. I also discovered some doors that hadn’t been shown before.

We’ll kick off with the oldest door in The Arena. This door was built in 30AD

Up to the mid 1300’s and the Castlevecchio Museum

I have no idea about the next two doors

My Latin isn’t the best and Roman Numerals…how about the year 933?

My ability to parse in Latin was hopeless but it’s a great door surround

Do you think I had the doors in the right order, from oldest to newest.

  3. If I read the numerals in your third photo right, it’s 1528, which doesn’t seem quite right. Do they read MDXXVIII? Great doors anyway … and that first one – wow!

    1. Thanks Dan. I guess I have the oldest door on Thursday Doors record? 😂 I was hoping for a scholar to interpret the words. You went to a place with a revolving door, so I was hoping…….😁

      1. I did try, Brian. I was going to award you the record, but I’ve only been the host for a few years, and we have contributors who travel a lot. Someone might have been to Egypt – do pyramids have doors? But, you have the record on my watch.

  10. Great craftsmanship on the wooden doors. I think you added the pics in a good order. The last door reminds me of our front door in NY. It was heavy and had a long handle. Solid wood … loved it. Thanks for showing me some interesting pics.

        2. I understand Latin is very difficult. I learned more about the English language and grammar when I studied French. I started in grade one – it was mandatory in Canada to study French.

  15. It’s hard to make out the inscriptions on the last two so hard to say if they’re in chronological order, but they’re all excellent doors nonetheless.

  20. “The foot may be the very first appendage of the English gentleman to pass through a doorway, and thus make the key initial impression.”
