In one of the museums we visited in Santiago there was a comment about how important doorways and gates are in Chile both historically and presently. These entrances are statements about the organization or people they lead to. They might denote status or tell a story but there is frequently an investment in doors and gates. Doors are important in most places but when I think back over the last few weeks we have often noted the doors, details around entrances and even the gates we have seen. Granted there are some fairly prosaic ones (the first couple below) but many are very interesting. I did not really take a lot of pictures till we returned to Santiago but have collected some pictures of doors. Most are around Santiago but there are a few from across south central Chile.
