Here’s the last of the cool things I found in the unassuming town of Nuoro, in Eastern Sardinia. Do you ever get the feeling that someone is watching you? It’s a carved faces kerbstone in Nuoro.
We’d just finished our gelato on a hot August afternoon after visiting the town and were walking back to the car. Then my eagle-eyed daughter chanced to look down and spotted these little faces carved into the kerb-stone. When we looked closer, there were four faces all together. Now who’d go to the trouble of carving a kerb stone?
Proof if you still needed it that there’s more to Nuoro than meets the eye.
Spot them if you can as you walk up Via Tola from the Peter Pan Gelateria towards the arch that leads to the Duomo.
You can see all my photos on Flickr from Nuoro here and all my Sardinia photos here.
