Shells

It 's nice to see that they have lasted this long.....and not broken into small pieces with all the vandels out there. Its very very colorful. I also like the stars and strips too.

Its nice to see that people actually thought about making the this a nice place to stay for the patients. Now days its seems like most hosiptals are so plain because its easy to care for. I wish we had more craftmanship like this today

Beautiful colors and textures and in great condition for being abandoned so long

lush !

Actually it has nothing to do with the proximity to the sea. Mojolica, as well as a few other major manufacturers of ceramic tile used the shell theme. There are such tiles in the old apartment building down the street from where I live. Very far from any sea.

In Greek and Roman mythology, the shell stood for prosperity and regeneration. It has also been used as a symbol for baptism.

This is beautiful! I love the shell and heart motifs. Making the surrounding pleasant for the patients is very therapeutic. I'm sure the sea air was conducive to health benefits as well. I love the ocean-side! : )
