This is the second post with the doors around the summer residence of many Popes called Rocca dei Pappi in Montefiascone, as seen on my first visit one month ago.
In my first post two weeks ago uncle, bestia and I reached the highest point of Montefiascone above Lake Bolsena in the province of Viterbo, found the facilities and some doors, and today we continue our stroll in the park and through the streets around the townhall.
And just in case you haven’t yet, give a listen to our host Dan Antion in a podcast with the Clanmother, in which he is talking about Thursday Doors as well. This challenge certainly opens the doors for us that we would otherwise never know and will probably never visit. Thank you for your doors and visits!
This stop was just the first of the day. After that we continued to the ghost town Celleno and the giving town of Sant’Angelo di Roccalvecce with all its fairy-tale murals that I’m showing on the weekends with two more posts to go. What a day!
Basilica di Santa Margherita, the Montefiascone Cathedral. 
I had to double check. What the Pope’s summer residence really needs. 
Uncle in movement. Those inverted Olympic circles are peculiar. 
A doorfie opportunity. 
Montefiascone is set on various levels. We continued down. 
Suddenly doors were coming fast from left and right. 
A spiritual centre. 
An English-speaking door. 
Old and wonderful. 
Happy bestia and an arch. 
Even older with an optimistic chain. 
We could continue right and reach the lower levels of the town. 
It says that this is the Mayor’s office. 
A very orange house. 
Uncle was leading the way, worried that doors would never let me go. 
They gave a good show. 
A splendid case of knockers. 
A lovely display. 
Coming, uncle! We could continue down but our car was waiting above. 
Another pair of lion knockers. 
The view of Lake Bolsena didn’t improve but there was a plane doing some tricks. I’ll be back.

That first entrance offers a bit of an illusion. I wasn’t sure it the door was a door or a window at the bottom. Thanks for the mention. I love this challenge and you always share such interesting doors, Manja. Old, new, work=n and well-maintained, you covered a lot of ground today. I’m leaving the comment first and then stepping into the gallery (in case I can’t get back out). I hope you’re having a great week.

Thank you, Dan. I don’t know if this block, called Gallery, creates the same commenting problems as Stacked. Yes, I was surprised at this setup in the featured photo because while there I just clicked once and moved on and didn’t look at it properly. But I’ll always take a chance on doorfie.

Some wonderful doors.
The black metal door that was inserted into the original wood door…can’t decide if the modern addition is an interesting contrast or a travesty 🙂

Haha, quite, Aimer. I take it as a good opportunity for a doorfie (door selfie) and move on. Now I see that it’s really peculiar. Thank you for strolling along.

Can’t resist a good doorfie myself, and since Covid’s put my travelling days on hold, I’m living vicariously through your pictures 🙂

I love all those tiny streets, Manja. We have them here in many of our Irish towns and they freak out tourists on self-drive holidays who are used to much wider spaces.

Haha, I bet. I’m afraid they would freak me out as well. I get claustrophobic. 😀 (In the car, on foot is perfect.) Thank you, Jean.

As usual quite a variety of doors Was that a mirror on the one that gave you the doorfie?

Thank you, Janet. The truth is that I just saw myself, clicked once and moved on instead of investigating. But it looks like a mirror, yes.

Once more you spoil us with your doors. Unfortunately I couldn’t enlarge any of the pictures in your gallery. Is this a WordPress problem?

Ahh, scooj, this is not good news. Thank you for telling me, you are the first. Are you looking on your phone? I started to use a different block called Gallery. (Before I mostly used Stacked.) On my big screen now the photos are so big when you click on them and look them in the gallery that there is no need for enlargement. If I allow enlargement, I lose captions. Does your viewing experience suffer a lot?

You should be able to click on a photo to enter the gallery and then click on it again so that it expands a bit.
