Think of a country with very little wood and building materials that are usually concrete, stone and tile.
When wood is used, it is very beautiful and for decorative purposes. What amazes me is the wonderful things done with wrought iron here: Fences, gates, railings and window grates -- all manner of decorative ironwork. I am going to show you what I see here.

Another fine example of ironwork is the Park Hotel San Michele in Martina Franca. I love staying at this hotel as it is a grand old place with elegance you don't find in modern hotels, and beautiful gardens.
