I originally found these images in the Mysterious Universe forum posted by the moderator Agent 51. There was some interesting discussion around what they may be but noone came up with anything conclusive.

I find them to be fascinating as they bear obvious occult symbols. In the original thread I saw them in they were referred to as the "Italian Stargate". Because I can not find any information on it, and because I am so interested, and because I consider so many of you here to be incredibly well informed I thought I would share the images and see what you all think it may be or hopefully to see what information you can share.

Edit: I forgot to mention that this is in the Piazza del Toro.

Interesting. I would be curious to see what it looks like on top of the structure. It appears as if some plants are growing up there. Do you have any photos showing it from the top?

My initial reaction is that its a tomb of some sort. I'll see what i can find out about it, cool pics.

Nope, sorry, these are the only photos I was able to get from the original source. I also believe they are the only photos he has to share. My impression is that this is a wall. Whether a retaining wall (meaning holding earth with level ground on top) or a simple wall that has just accumulated debris over time allowing plants to take root on top, I am not sure.

Clearly the symbols along the sides are astronomical... whereas the characters along the top are written in Hebrew.

Within the topmost circle you have the star of david underneath an image of an inverted ahnk... perhaps there is a more Christian view of the cross / circle image, but I am at a loss at the moment.

The figures to either side are guardians, protecting the doorway, barring those unworthy to cross.

And, judging by the clay bricks behind the concrete structures, I would say that this is fairly recent.

Very Interesting. They do seem to be doorwayesque in appearance. I can't imagine that there aren't any reasonable explanations for this. I immediately thought of a tomb as well.... but to me it doesn't seem to be. All of the symbols seem to be pretty straight forward. What they are all doing together however is a mystery to me. The only symbol I cannot make out however, is the one on the bottom of the doorway... maybe someone will know.

The white 'door frame' looks like concrete, put there well after the wall. You can see something slightly wider just behind it, but the whole wall looks quite evenly aged. Interesting symbols though, put there for tourists?

Can you give the link to where this was discussed before? I tried going through your profile to see your current posts but the feature appears to be down for the moment. Thanks. This is interesting.

I am a landscaper and some of the projects my crew have done involve taking the best of something run down to rubble,,, such as a fallen barn,,(work with me, live midwest america) and taking leftover pieces of said fallen barn and make something out of them,, rock steps,rock walls, garden posts, whatever.. The point I'm trying to make is ,maybe that is what happened, old structure falls down and/or gets torn down and to keep with local motif they take leftover's and make an historic looking garden scene, complete with statues and curious symbal's...note the mortar behind block's. this looks to be 2 different photos taken at 2 different times,,note the vine??

Then again, maybe it is a tomb or shrine of some kind. In the upper left of each of the pic's we can see what appears to be a hole in the wall, I wonder how deep the hole is?? The writing and symbol's are rather curious. I gotta dig now!
