Title: Ecce Homo, revisited
Post by: CNGL-Leudimin on May 10, 2016, 05:46:08 PM
As you might know, the Ecce Homo is a painting that went viral back in August 2012 after a failed restoration by an elderly woman, spawning even Halloween disguises. But what happened to it afterwards?

The original painting is within a hour and a quarter drive from me. So, in early April returning home from Soria, when I hit Borja I decided to take the road to the Mercy Sanctuary (Santuario de Misericordia in Spanish) to check it out. And here is it!

If you ever come to this area, Borja also has some roadgeek interest, as the town features a Stop sign in the main road (N-122). Westbound traffic has to stop and yield to anyone coming from the other direction turning left into what a sign says it's A-1302 (such designation no longer exists, having been downgraded some time ago).
