This counts as an Escherian optical illusion (for me at least)! The middle tier of houses comes to the front of perspective for me because of the strong color contrast. Great photo.
Where is this from? It reminds me, with those parti-colored row-houses of St. John’s Newfoundland, according to my visual cortex, which I visited maybe 40 years ago.
BTW when you get down on your back and shoot upward at those cathedral portals, they look oddly like some sort of official parliamentary assembly (of saints?).

It’s gorgeous in so many ways, old and new in narrow staggered rows, echoing their colors, but why do they have to be pastels? Yuck!
