Especially in dense cities, it is not uncommon to have certain buildings painted with bright colors in order to stand out. Whether it is the entire building front or just the doors and windows, it is a way to make a unique statement in an otherwise homogeneous landscape. A lot of the time it is a business that is trying to draw your attention, but a lot of the time is a residential home where the owners simply expressing their uniqueness. We enjoy seeing these buildings during our travels and often take photographs of them even though they aren’t of any historical significance. Here are just a few of the colorful buildings that we have seen during our travels.
Oh I love your colorful buildings. I think my favorite one is the white with the jolts of colors for the doors and windows. I really pops 😀
They definitely catch your eye 🙂
Brilliant! I love colourful buildings of all types. In Italy we don’t really get them because towns tend to have very strict limitations on what you can and can’t do when building something 🙁
Amazing colours, the Reykjavik picture reminds me of Cobb in Ireland 🙂
