Bergamo, Lomardy, Italy -- July 2006 -- This gothic shrine of what appears to be Christ on his throne in the heavens (protected by leaning lions) is asymmetrically posed above the Fountain doorway. Note the brickwork: when work started on the basilica, money was available for large, regularly shaped stones. Later when this section was completed, money was more scarce and builders had to make do with smaller, irregular stones.
