And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
The image displays the beautifully carved wooden door and stone archway of the Mehmet Şakir Paşa Madrasa, located in the historic village of Mustafapaşa (Sinasos) in Cappadocia, Turkey.
The madrasa was built in 1908 and features an ornate, finely carved stone gate reflecting the artistic style of the late Ottoman era.
It was once an Islamic educational institute and residence for students, and is now a key historical landmark in the region.
Mustafapaşa village is known for its unique Greek-Turkish stone architecture and has been recognized as one of the "Best Tourism Villages in the World" by the UNWTO.
The door in the image is a notable example of the intricate craftsmanship found throughout the area's historical mansions and structures.
It's also in need of some boiled linseed oil or other TLC.
Actual years and years and years. Reminds me the doors to Hagia Sophia in Istanbul.
