It might have started in the late nineteenth and twentieth. from the neighborhood two Irish writers: Oliviera Moore'ai George'a St Johna Gogarty'ego, who apparently lived side by side and one day one of them painted his door green, to avoid confusion neighbor returning a drunken night of pub. The second did not remain indebted and also painted their doors – red.

Or even earlier - in the eighteenth century, Dubliners as a protest against the Crown (after the death of one of English monarchs, Dublin residents colorfully painted door manifested their joy) - This version also heard. Another speaks of this, that all this is due to the Gregorian historic remains, which does not allow building owners to madness and implementation of their vision - since nothing can change the appearance of ornamental inputs, although this color let distinguish.

The most popular and most repeated version is the so, that the doors of Dublin homes are colorful, returned to the pub men were getting in the door of your home, not a neighbor. And she, too, I like it. Says a lot about the Irish, though perhaps not quite explains it colored door.

Dubliners with the extravagance made tourist product - "Doors of Dublin" appear even on postcards, which can be bought in popular souvenir shops. But there no credible explanation, although note on the back of postcards is. However, in general treats the Gregorian Dublin. The door – word. Maybe it's too obvious for local, maybe not everything you need to analyze… Doors of Dublin remain in memory and without explanation, or perhaps because?

Color Dublin amaze door, dazzle, attract attention, cheer. You can not not like the city, whose inhabitants can afford such madness 🙂 The paint is probably specially selected - usually shiny, thick layer, not pastel, but the fiery red, lush green, blue and dark blue. I also saw a canary yellow door, and even pink!

The fascinating phenomenon in architecture, culture, structure, mentality, and even identity. The more, that architecture should not be Irish to finesse. I did not notice, that the houses were not particularly sophisticated in form, are practical, simple, similar to each other. Only this door ... Wonderful.

I promise, that at the next visit to Dublin obfotografujÄ™ them thoroughly. Because the color is not all - are also characteristic of knockers, knobs (not handle!) and semicircular very decorative finials.

Until you want to move this colorful little to Szczecin, rather, this little bit of slack, it symbolizes.
