Knocking on Heaven's Door


One of the many beautiful things about Antigua is the architecture and today we are going to take a look at a particular aspect: door knockers (click here for suitable musical accompaniment). Below you will find photos demonstrating the variety found in this beautiful city. In a couple you can see that the owners of the house have put a metal band around it to prevent people from raising and dropping the knocker as they walk by - as if anyone would actually do that and continue on their way. Our favorite is the hand holding a ball. We bought one years ago which, if you have been to our house, you have undoubtedly not seen since we have never actually put it up. Maybe someday. Along with the sink(s) from Mexico.
