The 12th century? It boggles the mind! Love that ivy geranium that looks like a Christmas tree!

Great photos!! I stared at the door and floor a bit – imagine the number of people, the conversations. The different clothing. All that the floor and door has seen over the centuries. If only they could speak. Time is fascinating…

I so agree John! There is a strange feeling standing in such old places – like I am there in that long ago time and can hear and see the inhabitants. 🙂

I think the thing about Europe that always affects me is to walk in the footprints of those who had been there hundreds and sometimes thousands of years before…Love the special attention to detail that went into what they built.

Beautiful photos, Dor. I love the Oktoberfest outfits and those blooms – especially the ones in the park. How wonderful to traipse about this old city with its rich history. 😉

And I imagine the difficulties they faced a thousand years ago to build as they did, structures that would last this long.
