Arches and doors, Unione dei Comuni, Montefalco, Umbria, Italy, July 2023

Thursday doors – 15 February 2024, Montefalco, Umbria, Italy

Doors 252 – Montefalco doors, Umbria, Italy (Part II)

This week, a little later than planned, I bring you the second instalment of doors from the small hilltop town of Montefalco. Everything in this town feels parched and dusty, but that is probably the same for many Italian towns during the summer months. I hope that these pictures convey that sense of sleepiness and heat.

These doors begin in the main square on the central administrative building (Town Hall?) and then head southwest on the Corso Goffredo Mameli. My family (my own, my sister’s and my brother’s) were dispersed around the town and my photographic doorscursion was interrupted on several occasions with friendly and familiar faces. Can you spot the unintentional doorfie?

Enjoy the doors:

If you have made it this far, you probably like doors, and you really ought to take a look at the No Facilities blog by Dan Anton who has taken over the hosting of Thursday Doors from Norm 2.0 blog.

  1. I did catch a glimpse of you behind that door with the carvings. I love the caption, “Arched door with crazy stonework” That’s perfect. Coming down those steps, I guess you have to be careful with how much you’re carrying to get those doors open. Cool capture of two ghost doors. I love stone/brick arches so this was a great post. I hope you’re having a nice week.
