[ES] Desde que empecé a publicar Marcas de Ruta miro todo a mí alrededor con otros ojos, me fijo en cosas que antes me pasaban desapercibidas.

Es así como paseando por Alcalá de Henares me fijé en alguna de sus puertas y pude reparar en curiosos tiradores y llamadores. Este fue uno de ellos, os invito a fotografiarlo cuando paséis por aquí.

En este edificio residencial el bajo comercial, con salida a las calles Nebrija y Tinte, tiene tiradores de puerta artísticos en sus dos puertas. Son escudos de armas, preguntando a los encargados de la tienda no saben decirme a qué linaje pertenecen y me comentan que lo han heredado de la anterior empresa que estaba aquí establecida.

Son tiradores fabricados en bronce, un rectángulo de unos 2 cm de grosor y, aproximadamente, 20 cm de ancho por 30 de alto. En la parte visible se ve un vaciado del bronce y aparece el escudo de armas propiamente dicho en relieve, el blasón son 9 gruesos botones y aparece coronado con corona de, visibles, 4 picos que en este caso semejan almenas de un castillo.


[EN] Since I started posting Waymarks, I look at everything around me with different eyes, I pay attention to things that previously went unnoticed.

This is how, walking through Alcalá de Henares, I noticed its doors and was able to notice curious handles and knockers. This was one of them, I invite you to photograph it when you pass by.

The commercial ground floor of this residential building, with access to Nebrija and Tinte streets, has artistic door handles on its two doors. They are coats of arms, asking the store managers they can't tell me what lineage they belong to and they tell me that they have inherited it from the previous company that was established here.

They are handles made of bronze, a rectangle about 2 cm thick and approximately 20 cm wide by 30 cm high. In the visible part there is a cast of bronze and the coat of arms itself appears in relief, the coat of arms consists of 9 thick buttons and appears crowned with a crown of, visible, 4 peaks that in this case resemble the battlements of a castle.

Functional door?: yes
