Doors! Handsome, beautiful, decayed, prison or palace, even stolen!

This has gravitas. Seems part of a Catholic religious institution as their’s a venerative picture of “Mary” who figures strongly only in that that creed. I wonder if this could be the door to a nunnery?

Seems to have been magnificent at its prime! I wonder whether folk who visit it every day for worship just are so used to it that they don’t notice the paint peeling off, as to them, “Its always been like that!”

Or is it abandoned as a key placevof worship and now an administrative center with no funds?

This deserves comment!

Passages like this are fascinating. I am impressed by the complex arch on the right andctgrvgenerous passageway for a large column of people, monks perhaps?

Such craftswork should be looked after better. We see the same in Venice with the precious irreplaceable building’s along canals allowed to decay, but ground floors are decorated lavishly to entice entertain tourists.

We need to treasure and respect cultural heritages!
