Gothic | Gloria McBreen

I had been looking forward to many things about our holiday in Italy and one of them was collecting some doors pictures. I was not disappointed!

I was in awe at the amount of churches and cathedrals and little chapels in Como. The cathedral in the photos below is one of the most important buildings in the region of Como, Lombardy, Italy. It is the seat of the Bishop of Como and it is dedicated to the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Rosserk friary was founded around 1460 by a member of the Joyce family for the friars of the Third Order of St Francis.

The Third Order of the Society of St. Francis is an Anglican/Episcopal religious order for people of all kinds—single and in committed relationships, lay and ordained—who live by Franciscan principles “in the world.”

This late Irish Gothic style building is situated on the banks of the River Moy – on the north side of Ballina and on the west side of Killala Bay. It is one of the finest reserved ruins in Co Mayo and one of the finest preserved Franciscan Friary ruins in Ireland.
