Water gate of the Palazzo Barbaro

Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning,
On an ever spinning wheel
As the images unwind
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind

The Windmills of Your Mind - English lyrics by Alan Bergman and Marilyn Bergman

The Palazzo Barbaro is where some scenes of Brideshead Revisited (the TV series) and The Wings of the Dove were filmed. But the water gate did not feature strongly in either of them, so I thought you might like to see a close-up of the ironwork tracery. How did I get inside, you will want to know. Well, I rang the doorbell, and some kind soul buzzed me in. Simple as that!
