Don't forget the 2 Monteverde angels!

And yes, the mosquitos are fierce 😕

Ooh where’s this one Steve?

Ok ok guess it’s time to right that wrong. It will be a welcome respite from the June heat 😊

Still haven’t gotten round to visiting this, always mean to, always get distracted and go elsewhere… 😬

Good grief! The knotwork in pic 3… Oof!

I’ll try again in June. In the meantime, hopefully these Roman letterings will give you some inspiration

Unfortunately the queue was too long for me, thought I’d best leave the waiting to the faithful

Absolutely agree! I wonder how the queues are at Santa Maria Maggiore, might pop in tomorrow and see if I can get a top down snap

This one looks pretty special, did the architect design any other churches?

😆

Beautiful spires, made me think of those at Sagrada Familia, is it a Catalan style?

This is spectacular and pure, I love it, thanks for sharing

So many beautiful things to see in Cologne, I wouldn’t presume to send you a list. But for further inspiration search my posts here and the app formerly known as Twitter for “Cologne” or even “Bonn” (as it’s very close and also nice)

Yes, perhaps my favourite museum, beautiful pieces and at a size that’s “manageable”

I find places like V&A, MANN in Naples, Altes Museum in Berlin etc just too big and overwhelming

Cracking font! I was just looking at my pics of this Rhenish example ca. 1200 earlier, the protruding faces are an interesting similarity
