Let’s say goodbye to the doors and views of Ischia di Castro with this post. This has been a lovely half an hour, spread around four weeks of Thursday Doors.
It was the end of this September and during his vigorous swimming on his last visit of the summer uncle agreed to this one road trip. There was a waterfall and a relatively long, steep and hot hike to some interesting ruins, both of which I still need to show on here, and then we found this place. The door series starts here.
As you will see, uncle’s door patience was running out, so it was just as well that we reached the caves at the end of the town through some tunnels, turned around, and returned where we’d come from, since there was nothing else to do. Let’s have a look.
As for next Thursday, who knows which doors we will be knocking on on my blog, but most probably it will be in Slovenia. My country has just got a new president. For the first time, as a tweet said, it’s a girl. She is small and compact and enjoys motorcycles. When amore first saw her and heard her speak, he trembled.
How about this one for a getaway cottage? 
It was getting more and more Etruscan. 
I loved exploring this place. It felt like an adult amusement park. 
Just a door but it has seen things. 
Okay… Etruscan it is. 
This place looked ready for a movie set. 
Another old one. 
A closer look. 
Uncle has clearly reached his door limit. 
Let us return then.

While we were being watched. 
Another perfect getaway. 
Imagine that you have the key. 
A frog and a rooster bell spotted. 
We passed the church again and I sent a photo of this door to Flavia in Sardinia, where she works now, to see if she could guess where I was. She has a friend in this town. 
The door is from the year 2000, it seems. Such hardworking people. 
Uncle and bestia were ready to move on. 
While I still had doors whisper to me. 
The last view belongs to this building. Just because. Goodbye, Ischia!

An Embarrassment of Riches 
I have enjoyed the doors from Ischia di Castro, Manja. Uncle’s patience may have worn out, but mine did not. I love those old wooden doors and I am impressed by the (bronze ?) door that was built in 2000. I’m surprised people still know how to do that. Thanks for a great tour. And thnaks for including the cat. That’s a great photo.

Looks like an interesting place, and one that needed defending once. Unfortunately a quick search did not give me much about the village.

This is one of the best door wander around in ages. Poor Uncle, I am so glad he is happy for your company and I bet he loves bestia.
I would love to explore there especially that older section. 🙂

Sometimes I forget how incredibly OLD Europe is (in a good way!), but these pics gave me a good reminder. I looked up Slovenia’s new president last night, and she sounds like a good choice (from a very fast, surface-level reading, at least). Have a good weekend!

I know what you mean by adult amusement park. I feel that way whenever we visit a new city, or discover a new part of the city we are currently living in, and I get to explore, looking for interesting doors and all! Lovely shots!

“Imagine that you have the key” — so apt for the beautiful photos and engaging captions in today’s post. You have given us the key. And much joy.

Oh my goodness, I love how that cat was watching you! Cats are so funny. The scenery is mighty wonderful. I got a whiff of that fresh country air. You’re definitely the door whisperer.
