I have a confession to make…I really like taking pictures of knockers. DOOR knockers! It drives Cheryl crazy. We’ll be walking along quiet streets in Italy, France or even Florida and I’ll spot an intriguing door and disappear. She’ll be having a conversation with thin air until I come running back with “I got another knocker shot!”
There’s LOTS of eye rolling when we travel! 🙂
Here are a few of my favorites. Most of these are from Viterbo, Italy where the lion is their town patron, but a few might have snuck in from other wonderful places, too. Hope you enjoy our Gallery of Knockers!

LOL!! And here I’m thinking of “knockers” as hmm….something else!!! The fourth one down with the hand is really interesting and different! I’ll have to keep my eye open for some knockers myself!! 🙂

These door knockers are certainly animal kingdom themed! I noticed the same thing in Cambodia, but their animal is a snake/serpent. Love the detail in them. 🙂

The hand really intrigued me as well! I looked it up when we got back and it turns out this is the “Hand of Fatima” or Khasmsa – it is meant to ward off the evil eye and protect all those inside the home. Interesting! Even knockers can teach us something 😉

Thanks for stopping by! I can’t wait to take a visit to Cambodia for more pictures (Cheryl will be thrilled) 😉
take care!
