Macst<p>Residential Building in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Zurich" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Zurich</span></a>. The facade features the typical classical vertical division into three distinct sections - base, middle, and top. Although the base vaguely resembles stone masonry, it is actually simply constructed of mortar. 1901 <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/architecture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>architecture</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/facade" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>facade</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ornaments" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ornaments</span></a></p>

Macst<p>Although squeezed between the door and the balcony above, the decoration manages to appear quite grandiose. The inscription 'XIII' refers to the 13th year of the so-called "Fascist Era". <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Rome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Rome</span></a> 1935 <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/architecture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>architecture</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ornaments" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ornaments</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/window" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>window</span></a></p>
