Niamh Bernadette (They/Them)Porta Castiglione for <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Doorsday?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Doorsday</a> 🤓"But that's not a door, you f*cking idiot!" Well, in Italian it is. Porta = Door. So, if you have any problems with that - take it up with the country of Italy. Porta Castiglione was first built in the middle of the 13th century and then given a spruce in the 15th century. Back in the day, it was part of the city walls used to protect the centre - it was a machiocolated rampart (which means it was used for defensive purposes to keep undesirables out). Thankfully, it's not used for that purpose anymore, so now I can live here. ✨ <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/photography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/amateurphotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#amateurphotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/door?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#door</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/doorsday?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#doorsday</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/urban?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#urban</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/city?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#city</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/cityscape?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cityscape</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/doorphotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#doorphotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/castiglione?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#castiglione</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bologna?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bologna</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/street?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#street</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/history?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#history</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/stone?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#stone</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/architecture?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#architecture</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/porta?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#porta</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/portadì?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#portadì</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/italia?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#italia</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/citta?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#citta</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/old?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#old</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/middleages?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#middleages</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/medieval?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#medieval</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/urbanarchitecture?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#urbanarchitecture</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/travel?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#travel</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/europe?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#europe</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/medievale?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#medievale</a>

Michael Meckler<a href="https://mastodon.online/@jdmccafferty" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@jdmccafferty</a> The 'cursing' (in the formal sense of the word) was on display in the disputes between Ruadán of Lorrha and the Irish high-king Diarmait mac Cerbaill, stories about which survive in a variety of sources, both in Irish and in Latin. Of course, these stories should be understood as legendary, and they likely reflect later medieval concerns about the involvement of secular rulers in operations of the Church and, especially, monasteries. Nonetheless, the competitive cursing characteristic of Ruadán is an entertaining feature of the surviving literature about him.<a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Ireland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ireland</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/medieval" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#medieval</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Ruad%C3%A1n" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ruadán</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/DiarmaitMacCerbaill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DiarmaitMacCerbaill</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Lorrha" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Lorrha</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/IrishSaints" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IrishSaints</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/cursing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cursing</a>

Dr Helen WilsonThere's been a Kingsett Farm in Newleycombe Valley, Dartmoor, since at least 1330. After Plymouth City Corporation built the dam for Burrator reservoir in late C19, tenants of farms in the catchment were hassled to leave, but the Pearce family at Kingsett resisted. The Corporation then bought Kingsett Farm and barred tenants from keeping animals. The Pearce family left in 1924 with no compensation.Kingsett is one of many ruined farms in the watershed of Burrator Reservoir.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Dartmoor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Dartmoor</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Medieval" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Medieval</a>

The bathhouse is indicative of the spread of the bathing culture through Islamic Spain. Bathouses were not just for health and hygiene but a method of socialising and spirituality. A museum is now planned at the site to enable tourists to view the excavations. <a href="https://www.medievalists.net/2025/04/medieval-bathhouse-discovered-in-spain/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.medievalists.net/2025/04/medieval-bathhouse-discovered-in-spain/</a>
