Great detail in this image.
ReplyDeleteTo me this building looks modern, a modern replica of something old rather than the real thing.

I loathe Baroque - especially in contrast to mediaeval architecture ... I think Joan Elizabeth hit the nail on the head with her description of Baroque.
ReplyDeletewas this renovated? it's such distinct details esp. the main door.
ReplyDeletees que el arte barroco nunca he terminado de entenderlo pero lo que me encanta es el color de las rocas rojas.. uf, eso me mata!
ReplyDeletelinda esquina
Thanks for the comments.
ReplyDeleteSandra: Thanks,
Joan Elizabeth: Yes, you could be right.
Cezar and Léia: Obrigado.
Martina: Even after reading Neal Stephenson?
arabesque: It might have been. It is some way from Saarbrücken and I am not so acquainted with its history.
Sonia: Esta piedra roja se mucho aquí. Es de la zona.
I'am talking about architecture, not brains :-P
