Description
Labyrinths are an important part of many cultural heritages and mythologies.Mazes also form a rich part of our history. Mazes differ from labyrinths in that they do have dead ends; a person will get lost within a maze but never within a labyrinth, and both have influenced garden design and structure within western culture for at least a thousand years. The very idea of labyrinths and mazes incorporates a great deal of symbolism. They offer the curious a means to become lost, and then find oneself again. They suggest danger lurking behind every twist and turn, and redemption for the true and brave of heart. In France the garden labyrinths were known as Houses of Daedalus, after the legendary figure who first constructed a labyrinth in which to hide the Minotaur.
This is the labyrinth at San Pelagio Castle, near Padova. Possibly at the center there was the smaller stone Minotaur which is currently at the entrance of the building (I pasted beneath the present one). For some reason the owners preferred the gory monster brandishing a head. So I felt like joking a little and put some surprises for the poor tourist entering the hedged tricky path.
Thank you for your kind comments.
