Doors of the Mellah

There are various symbols on doors in Essaouira signifying the religion or ethnicity of the residents. I’m not sure, but that could be a Star of David above the arch, and this was taken in the Mellah, or old Jewish Quarter.

A view of the abandoned house, posted earlier:

Very symbolic but certainly abandoned house, the door color is really dynamic. Superb shot, Helen. V

Superb tones and the blue had matched nicely with the ancient brown texture ; Lovely design on the stone arch, Helen. V

Although the glory days of these doors long gone they still make a strong impression. V
