Doors of the Mellah

There are various symbols on doors in Essaouira signifying the religion or ethnicity of the residents. A Star of David appears above the arch over this door, and this was taken in the Mellah, or old Jewish Quarter.

Another old door from the Mellah, posted earlier:

Both look rather foreboding and the Star of David was a surprise from earlier times. Very nice work. Vote.

So much history has come and gone through these old doors.

The feeling of time and age really shows in these doors. Even in disrepair, there is so much character with a sense of history to these entrances. Voted
