Sunlight streams through the ancient Roman columns, with the sun creating a radiant starburst effect. These are the remains of the Temple of Saturn, an ancient Roman temple to the god Saturn, found in what is now the Roman Forum in Rome, Italy.

#Doorsday bloody Doorsday ... 💀 Oh, let's go!

I am happy to report that my trip to #Augsburg last week was a treasure trove for anyone who loves #doors (aka yours truly)! I only had an hour to explore the old town, but I found so many lovely doors. So behold, here's a badass one! ☠️

This is a #door of the #Stadtmetzg. Can you guess what this listed #historicBuilding used to be? It was built in 1609 as the #butchers' guildhall! I imagine it was deemed too refined for the messy process of slaughtering (this was done in the vicinity), but it was used as a central butchery to store and distribute meat to the city's butchers, using the Lech canal underneath to cool the meat in the basement and dispose of the waste.

The site burned down in 1634 and was rebuilt. In 1720 the Academy of Art moved into the upper floors (very random, I know). With the industrialization, the Stadtmetzg was losing importance and in 1930 it permanently closed. After renovations, it was used as an administrative building by the city of Augsburg. In WWII it was severely damaged, but once again restored. Today it is still in use as an administrative building.

Sorry for the long post, there's just so much to tell. 🫣 To any Augsburgers out there: I hope I got the facts straight!

A close-up shows a grand, arched doorway of a historic stone building, the Stadtmetzg in Augsburg. Heavy, dark wooden double doors are framed by intricately carved grey stone. Above the arch, ornate ironwork features a central floral motif. Flanking the doorway are stone pilasters topped with weathered bull skull carvings. A decorative stone pediment sits above the architrave. The building's facade is a mix of pale yellow and grey stone.

The grand architectural dome of St. Peter’s Cathedral in Vatican City is framed by an open window in the Vatican Museum, with intricate details visible in the sunlight. The structure's classical design contrasts with the simple interior view from which it is admired.

This is the best and closest view you can get of the dome of St Peter’s! #rome #vaticancity #vatican #stpeters #church #basilica #cathedral #dome #architecture #window #view #historic #classical #ornate #BuyIntoArt #AYearForArt #artforsale #wallartforsale #giftideas @joancarroll https://joan-carroll.pixels.com/featured/st-peters-basilica-through-the-window-joan-carroll.html

So busy today, I don't have the time to make up a good #Doorsday pun. 😥

Today's #door or rather #doors are not from a church, ha! It's from the old #post office in #Magdeburg. It's an impressive #historic building (built in 1895), not far from the Cathedral. Today it houses the Justice Centre, but a small part of it is still used as a #postOffice. The signs say "letters" and "telegrams".

The ornate entrance to a historic building, possibly a post office, is captured in a medium shot. The building's facade is constructed from light brown sandstone blocks, showing signs of weathering and age. Two arched doorways, each with intricately carved stone frames in a Gothic style, stand side by side. The left door is slightly ajar, revealing a dark interior, while the right door is closed. Both wooden doors feature decorative metalwork and small, diamond-patterned glass panes. Above the doorways, the stonework is even more elaborate, with sculpted figures and decorative elements. To the left of the left doorway, the word "Briefe" (German for "Letters") is inscribed in gold lettering on a rectangular plaque. Similarly, to the right of the right doorway, a plaque reads "Telegramme" (German for "Telegrams"). Flanking each doorway are ornate black metal lampposts with glass lanterns. Below each plaque, a bright yellow post box with a slot and a small window is mounted on the wall.
