Naval dockyard

And here finally: the tower of the Naval dockyard, guarded by the two lions I posted yesterday and the day before.

The walls of the Lloyd Austriaco dockyard, designed in the mid nineteenth century, are covered in white limestone from the quarries of Pula in Croatia.

I just got caught up on your pictures from the past week. They are fantastic!

The clock tower is in much better condition than the lions. It, too, has a certain noble air.
