Shadow of a palm

This is the courtyard of one of the Universities in Naples. The courtyard and the building were designed by the prominent Italian architect Luigi Vanvitelli born in Naples in 1700. I liked the shadow of one of the tall palms projected on the facade

That is one tall palm tree. It's shadow does add an extra interest to an already interesting building.

As a fifth-generation Australian I find it very difficult to fully comprehend having such wonderful architecture from so long ago. Fantastic.
