Paintings are on three sides of this wayside shrine.
Wayside shrine in Prissian / Prissiano - Adige Valley.
A wayside shrine is a religious image, usually in some sort of small shelter, placed by a road or pathway, sometimes in a settlement or at a crossroads, but often in the middle of an empty stretch of country road, or at the top of a hill or mountain. They have been a feature of many cultures, including Catholic Europe and Japan. (Font: Wikipedia)
