Alghero, Sardinia

Nice picturesque town on the west coast central of the island. Most of the old fortifications inland were torn down. They got recycled into other buildings. A common fate once that type of fortification wasn't a bennefit.

In the Alsace region of France. Not sure if that was the influence though.

There are other nicely decorated domes around, I have not seen any pictures of them.

It reminds me of, forgive me, an afghan I crocheted years ago. It was a granny square thing and I am sure I used those colors in a similar pattern!

Somehow it seems demeaning to this fabulous piece of architecture.
