My google-fu says it's the Reconciliation Door from the Berliner dom (The Cathedral of Berlin, south side).

It should really be named a wonder of the world, to cast bronze doors like that is quite a feat.

Oldest door still in use in Rome, at the Pantheon.
Cast in bronze for emperor Hadrian's rebuilding,
It dates from 115 CE (1906 years ago).
Each door is solid bronze, 2.3 metres wide and 7.5 metres high, and weighs 20 tonnes.

I think I would have my men climb the occulus, drop in hundreds of venomous snakes, (lowered in a basket)

Force the people out, then drop in 100 mongooses to get rid of the snakes, I like that door too much to ram it.

do earthquakes ever happen there
If I were a petal
And plucked, or moth, plucked
From flowers or pollen froth
To wither on a young child’s
Display. Fetch
Me a ribbon, they, all dead
Things scream.
