Windows and doors around the area of Varzea Pequena in Tomar

Some people may wonder why I am interested in windows and doors, and why do I publish photos related to this topic on this site. Well, I’m not particularly interested in this subject, but I just think that in old towns like Tomar doors and windows sometimes draw attention to them, especially for someone like me who have been living for many years in a young modern country like Australia. Old windows and doors tell you that people who are no longer with us, used to look at those windows and enter those doors. It’s often evidence of the past long gone, but still carrying on their purpose today.
