Someone at the door of S Lorenzo in Miranda!
This temple was buried by the rising detritus and silt in the Forum until the 12th century, when a when the church was inserted inside the ancient building envelope. The green door was at an appropriate entry level when a baroque facade was put on the church. In the 19th C the temple was excavated, leaving the door suspended (there's an entrance on the side of the church). Yesterday for the first time I saw people at the 17th Century door!
