Thursday Doors; The Hidden Doors of Italy

New Very Narrow Italian Door
Today for Door Day I thought we might look at some more of the fascinating Italian Doors! Sometimes when I am looking for doors I come upon doors that look like there have been different doors in that spot in the past and new doors have taken their place for whatever reason. I always wonder what was the previous door like? Some have an arch where the door would have been and some entrances have been bricked up!
Italian Church Door Within a Door
Then there are the doors within the door. I see these quite frequently at churches. The main doors are massive and quite heavy, so there is a little door in the big door, making it easier to pass through. Look for the pull, that is still above your shoulder! The heavy, giant, door usually has a bolt system on the inside. Is it to keep out unwanted guests?

And then there is the door that looks like it is in the mouth of a grotto!
This is just one of many photos in the Thursday Door Collection featured by Norm2.0! Won’t you join in or take a peak at all the doors? See you next week!

Some amazing doors here, love your photos as always!
Thanks Georgie!
Awesome collection this week. My fave is the #25 narrow door, I just love that whitewashed look.
It was REALLY skinny!
makes me want to visit there
Italy is a great country to visit!
My favorite is #25! A lovely find! Great selection this week!
Yes that is one of my favorites too!
Great photos and doors. I didn’t spot the tiny door in the large studded one until I read your post and looked back at it. It blends in very well.
Jean that church door was at least 20 feet tall and HEAVY so there is a need for the door within a door!
I like that first set. But they’re all good.

Thanks Janet!
Wished I had known about Thurs. doors when we were in Italy! Anywhere you look are beautiful doors, but it did not occur to me to take pics! Now I think of it, in the Netherlands (country of origin), there is also often an inside and an outside door in churches. And the space between the two doors was called a portal.
Thanks for that info Jesh!
Very nice; loved your collection this week.
I am always on the lookout now for doors……. And windows…..
Oh so nice!
Thank you!
Some fascinating doors indeed. Love the old church door.
These are beautiful! I visited Rome recently, and the changes over all of those years means that you can see a LOT of interesting doors and doorways there.
Yes they are everywhere!
