Palacio Barolo 2



Tuesday 17 July 2007

Well, I started up Spanish classes again today, finally. And I'm taking them in this neat old building, the Palacio Barolo. Ryan and I took a tour back in September or so, and I posted about it then. This is the building that is completely based on Dante's Inferno, down to the last measurement. All the numbers, of floors and rooms and whatnot, are symbolic, as well as many of the shape and color choices. A certain number of floors represent hell, a certain number Earth, and a certain number are heaven. (I'm pretty sure my classroom is on Earth.)
