Porta Castiglione for #Doorsday

🤓"But that's not a door, you f*cking idiot!"
Well, in Italian it is. Porta = Door. So, if you have any problems with that - take it up with the country of Italy.
Porta Castiglione was first built in the middle of the 13th century and then given a spruce in the 15th century. Back in the day, it was part of the city walls used to protect the centre - it was a machiocolated rampart (which means it was used for defensive purposes to keep undesirables out). Thankfully, it's not used for that purpose anymore, so now I can live here. ✨

🔔 Ring Ring! 🔔 It's #Doorsday!

Here we have the front door to Casa Caccianemici in Bologna. Last week, for window Friday, I showed you one of its windows.
Some of the building dates back to the 13th century, other parts to the 15th century. It used to be home to the Passapoveri tower. "Caccianemici" means "to throw out/get rid of enemies" - so I guess as long as you are on good terms with the homeowners, who were the Caccianemici, you're fine! 😂

Caccianemici House / Casa Caccianemici for #windowfriday

Some parts of the house date back to the 13th century, others to the 15th. It also housed the medieval Passapoveri tower. From the fresco above the window it says 1926 so we can presume it has had some renovations over the years!
