The Oudemanhuispoort courtyard is a hidden gem in the city center. Tucked between Kloveniersburgwal and Oudezijds Achterburgwal, it’s part of a 17th-century complex originally built as a shelter for the elderly. Now owned by the University of Amsterdam, it hosts the Faculty of Humanities and student housing.

The courtyard is accessed through a covered passage known for its secondhand book market. Midway, a door opens to the quiet garden with benches, a lawn, and rose bushes… A calm escape in the heart of the city.

In the middle of the city’s ‘Red Light District’ stands the “Oude Kerk”, the city’s oldest building, founded in

. Its vast wooden ceiling, gives the Gothic interior a unique atmosphere.

The church shifted from Catholic to Protestant after the

Reformation. Many locals were buried here, including some prominent figures, like Saskia van Uylenburgh, Rembrandt’s wife.

Now a cultural venue, it hosts exhibitions, concerts & art. Though no longer used for services, its historic soul remains alive at the Oudekerksplein.

The #sculpture of a very serious aviator decorates this entrance to the Idroscalo of #Orbetello (Italy), a 1930s airfield designed for seaplanes and strategically situated next to a lagoon. It was from here that Italo Balbo embarked on one of his nonstop flights across the Atlantic Ocean. #architecture #ornaments #history

Picture of an arched entry, framed with large stucco stones. Above the keystone, a travertine sculpture of an aviator.

Although squeezed between the door and the balcony above, the decoration manages to appear quite grandiose. The inscription 'XIII' refers to the 13th year of the so-called "Fascist Era". #Rome 1935 #architecture #ornaments #window

A stone-framed French door leads to a small balcony, topped by an entablature and a triangular pediment.

Spotted along a scenic hiking trail in #Marlengo, Italy: a classic #Tyrolean wayside cross. The carved inscription reads '1829 / IHS MARIA / GK+AW' IHS = Jesus, but what does 'GK+AW' mean? #SilentSunday #ornaments #graphic #fonts #Wegkreuz #Tirol

Classic Tyrolean wayside cross consisting of a roofed wooden box mounted on a pole. Inside there is a painting of Jesus on the cross.

In the wall below the wayside cross there is a stone with a carved inscription.
