  1. The historical Plankenstein building was planned by Pietro Delugan and built in 1907 in #Merano. It looks quite pompous, but is nevertheless well inserted into the city structure. I also like how it features a #portico on the ground floor, protecting people from rain and heat. #Sudtirol #architecture #facade

  2. A beautiful #belleepoque building in #Merano, Italy. I particularely like the building crown, where the roof is interrupted by a recessed volume with rich ornamentation. #architecture #ornaments #facade #Sudtirol

  3. In my last posts, I showed two beautiful #belleepoque buildings in #Merano, Italy, which was a tourism destination for wealthy people from Germany and Austria.
    So what would they do there? For example, take a walk on the #Tappeinerweg, an easy footpath with views over the city. It was created/sponsored by doctor Franz Tappeiner, who reccomended light exercise and the "good", local air as a cure against tuberculosis. Not sure about this cure, but the walk is very nice to this day. #SilentSunday

  4. The villa Posch in #Merano, Italy, built in 1913. Merano has Thermal baths and a relatively warm climate, and it was located at the southern end of the Habsburg Empire at the time. Therefore, it used to be an important travel destination for nobles and wealthy people during the #belleepoque. Most beautiful buildings from this time are still preserved today. #architecture #facade
