Caesar's Arch of Torun Photo

Photographer’s Note

Caesar’s Arch (Łuk Cezara) in the city of Torun. Caesar’s Arch is made up of three town houses whose lower parts were demolished to make a passafeway. The Baroque town house at 37 Piekary Street was built at the turn of the XVII and XVIII centuries. Following a design by the architect Karl Caesar, it was restructured in 1911 when the ground floor was converted to form a way through for traffic between Old Town and the Bydgoskie Suburb. The passageways under the adjoining buildings date back to 1936. They were constructed according to a design by the engineer Andrzej Tłoczek, who was the town architect and urban planner and the designer of the pre-war urban developmental plane of Torun. In the years 1936-1970 trams ran under Caesar’s Arch.

dear Mikolaj Kawa,
these windows are very well designed and composed.
several carpenters had really same idea, it is great.
of course, the shapes of houses and those colors are well planed too.

thank you for your artistic shot of picturesque houses,
Akihisa

daddo (11535) 2008-12-17 1:23

Hi Mikolaj. I presume people did not actually live in the building through which the trams ran- the noise would have been most disturbing.Vibrant colours and brilliant light. Interesting history. Pozdrawiam. Klaudio.

fantastic colurs and nice architecture, the blue of the sky is so beauty. These days in Italia it's always raining, It's very strange but it's the truth. So I like much this sunny picture!
