Entrance to A Little Bit O' Heaven

At the former entrance to the garden, an enormous serpent entices the visitor to enter. Like the lizard at the entry to Gaudi's Parc Güell, the reptile invites us appreciate its colorful scales and follow the mosaics along its smooth sinuous curves, to come inside and see more. But here the tempting serpent leads us to a pivoting door marked with a cross in the center of a church-like facade. Just another of the unusual criss-crossings of symbolism at A Little Bit O' Heaven.
