Gated Community

Gated communities are such a medieval concept. This is the town of Colombier in Neuchâtel, Switzerland. At the bottom left you can see Roman ruins on which the castle was built, the rest of the structure dates mostly from the 11th, 12th and 13th centuries, with nothing in view here that is any younger than the 16th century. Of course all the buildings are in full use, as is the Swiss way. I had just driven out of the town under the arch, barely a car width.

 

Love Switzerland, I lived in an apartment here once that was built in the 1600s, where else can you do that?

 

Today is day 70 of Project 365.
