I was looking up on a favorite website of mine and came across a report on it. It said that it is located in Greece. I'mma go on ahead and put the url: www.culture.gr/2/21/211/21112n/e211ln06.html
Whats your opinion?

Above the gates to hell as described in Dante's Divine Comedy there is the inscription:
"Lasciate ogni speranza chi che entratrate" (sp?)
it means
"Abandon all hope, you who enter here"
Seems like a pretty logical inscription to cover the thresh hold of hell, dontcha think?

The Gates of Hell is a monumental sculptural group work by French artist Auguste Rodin. It stands at 6 m high, 4 m wide and 1 m deep and contains 180 figures. The figures range from 15 cm high up to more than one metre. Several of the figures were also cast independently by Rodin.

Your link is not functioning as you posted it, you may have to try again. Or at least the link didn't work for me.. There is an ornately carved door, which depicts the different levels of Hell as they are described in Dante's Divine Comedy AKA Dante's Inferno, is that the one you mean? Or does the link lead to something else?
I was talking about Rodin also, couldn't remember the name I was looking for til I saw it in the post below....

No, it's not located in that place in Greece. That's just a cave that leads to a geothermal vent, or something like that.
If you really must know, it's located in my basement. One time, I threw a hampster into it just to see what burning hampster smelled like.
