Wednesday, July 15th:
The skies were gray Wednesday morning. Not long after I woke up, it began to rain. I had two full days left in Stresa and both Santa Caterina del Sasso & Orta were on my list as places I definitely wanted to visit. Santa Caterina del Sasso, a monastery that was built in the 12th century on a rocky hillside, looked like the better choice for a cloudy/rainy day. After breakfast, the rain stopped for a bit. I took the 9:55 am boat (5.80 euros roundtrip) to Santa Caterina. For the history of this amazing monastery, check out Dana's blog post.
*Answer revealed at the end of this post...
No, this is not related to the Mystery Date game (for those old enough to remember).
I chose the title mystery door because I wanted to see if anyone can guess where this door in Florence is located. This is the same door (different shot) as the second photo in my last post - "tied"~ PhotoHunt.
I cropped the second photo from my last post so you can see the detail a little better.
And if anyone knows more about the history of this door, I am curious about the story of the one panel on the door that is carved like a flower. I tried googling this door but came up empty.
Woo Hoo!!! Sandra guessed the mystery door location!! :)
This was going to be my next clue...
These flags fly over this door.
The mystery door is...
the *other door* of the Palazzo Vecchio.
Can you spot the door in this photo of the Palazzo Vecchio?
