Vicolo degli Abbandonati/ Alley of the Abandoned. Volterra, Tuscany, Italy 2022
This short stretch, which acts as a connection between via Persio Flacco and via Lungo le mura, was once part of the maze that made up 'The Labyrinth'.
In the past, the Alley of the Abandoned was the place where those who had no home and needed help.
Covered by an arch, it seems to guarantee, even on an architectural level, the necessary protection for those who did not have a refuge.
The opinions of scholars disagree as to the origin of Mission Espada’s irregularly arched doorway design. Is it Moorish? Why do some of the stones seem to be misaligned?
Mission Espada is one of four missions that comprise San Antonio Missions National Historical Park in Texas.

Somewhere along the side of a furniture warehouse. I like the tiny bullnose verandah perched over the doorway.
