Original walls; shopping street; villa mosaics; insulae (apartment blocks) mosaics; rich villa peristyle. The most important differences between the houses were their floorplan size and their mosaics. Rich houses had very elaborate mosaics, whereas the apartment blocks simply had rough stones arranged in patterns on the ground.
January 2011-June 2011. So far I have spent the last five months as Gap student at the Escolania de Montserrat, near Barcelona, Spain. The chance came last Summer on a school choir trip; as any choir enthusiast out there should know, such an opportunity to stay in Montserrat should not be missed! Being Spanish myself and never having set foot in Catalunya with its cultural wealth was a big plus. What better way to explore architecture, photography, history, art and new cultures!
