Ragusa Murals

The previous post, Il Tempo Paso was about 2 murals in Comiso by artists Case Maclaim and Marak Morik. These two have also painted murals in nearby Ragusa.

…..and in the same area of the city is another mural, from FestiWall 2018, an abstract scene (is there a bird in there?) by Alexey Luka,

There are many other murals in Ragusa, spread out around the city and most are the product of the annual FestiWalls event. Because of limited time, I only had a chance to check out one more neighbourhood where I found three murals.

below: First, there was a very faded old mural by Fintan Magee; I think that it is a man with a prickly pear cactus.
