This used to be my mailing box and it was closed for misterious reasons. The box is attached to the Mura di Gallieno, built by the homonymous roman emperor between april and december 265 d.C. when the Empire was already suffering from barbaric invasions and Verona was obviously under the threat. The hurry under which the works were carried out explains the variety of materials and shapes of the blocks: anything handy was recycled into this construction.

One mystery solved (the stones) and one still to be unravelled (the post box). I like the colors of the stone and the strong red of the poste box.
very interesting; good composition and colours
What a great image! I like that it's all taped up!
The old, the new, the efficient. Muri distinti.
