And last but not least, although not a door, the following, I believe deserves honorable mention —the epic mosaic floor at (number 2) Siena Cathedral:

    1. Yes, reverse order to highlight number one but give the others equal place.

      Much repect yes, order is subjective. They are are magnificent in their own right and the stories they tell.
      My ranking was my emotional connection to writing each post…nothing more.

      Much respect for your comment. And, thank you.

      1. Ah I see what you mean
        Absolutely subjective and you alone know the feelings and thoughts from your mind when you penned each haiku.
        I can’t even remember the content of each one, so it makes sense.

        Thank you Poet 🙂
        You are welcome.

  25. Superb, Suzette! The church doors (and of course the churches themselves) in Italy are just gorgeous! I am happy that I’ve seen some of them up close 😀. Siena cathedral had me totally enchanted when I was there.
