f/5.6, ISO 64,

Questo doccione per lo scarico dell'acqua piovana è sui cornicioni della Lonja de la seda (Mercato della seta), uno splendido edificio che testimonia il prestigio raggiunto dalla borghesia di Valencia nel sec XV e dichiarato Patrimonio dell'Umanità dall'Unesco nel 1931. Tutti i doccioni sono molto interessanti, sculture notevoli per creatività o drammaticità; questo era il più curioso e creato per sviare dalle pareti l'acqua piovana e non allontanare gli spiriti maligni proteggendo l'edificio come era, di solito, lo scopo di queste sculture nel periodo medievale.

Hello Lully, among the many gargoyles that I photographed this was really the most original. I've always been attracted to these fantastic or monstrous figures that adorn especially the medieval buildings with the aim to scare away evil spirits protecting the building, as well as to divert rain water from the walls. Thanks for stopping by Federica
