Mausoleum Door, Rome
The Roman Emperor Hadrian built this Mausoleum to house his and his family remains in 123AD. The ashes of Emperor Hadrian were placed here when he died in 138AD, along with his wife and his adopted son, and so are other Emperor’s ashes. The Mausoleum became a military fortress in 401AD, then a castle in 14th century…then as a prison.
This red door beckons you to enter…

Enter if you dare
Great composition here, my friend! Love how the stairs lead you to the open door and into the mausoleum.
