The oldest door in Madrid
By the side of La Torre de Los Lujanes, dated mid to late 15th century. Possibly earlier as there is still some Moorish influence there.
Shot taken in a very narrow alleyway. Camera to one side of head as I squeezed right back against the opposite wall. I couldn't see what I was taking. Pure guesswork and the first take was the one!

Frans,

Andy Rodker club has replied to Nacer HAndy Rodker club has replied to Amelia clubWell, I wasn't there when it was built but it says so in all the guide and history books. I suppose they could all be wrong (these things do happen!).
The building, La Torre de Los Lujanes, is the oldest continuously inhabited building in Madrid, which seems pretty clear when you look at it. I may have a shot of it somewhere; if not I'll go and take one and post it. I will need to wait for the tourists to pass. The reason why this small door isn't so often photographed is because it is down a side alley. Possibly also the reason it has been left unaltered is that it's out of sight of the main square and therefore didn't need constant updating due to changes in architectural fashion over the ages!
Some of the churches are older but their doors are much changed.
