...and the last from Goth Galicia doors etc...for now...

...doors are the most important places. The Roman god Janus guarded them and looked both ways with his head facing back and front...to the past and future. He is the oldest of gods from the time of Romulus and Remus. He is the god of doors, portals, passageways and transitions - concrete and abstract, life/death, beginning/end, youth/adulthood, rural/urban, war/peace. Transformations and shifts. He ruled over all life changes, birth, death, harvest, planting, seasons, new beginnings. He held the key to heaven. Janus was celebrated first before any other god at all ceremonies. 

Goth as a state of mind and Gothic architecture - more photographs of doors and portals photographed in Galicia, an area of Visigoth, Moor, Romanesque, local and Roman influences...
