Not an illusion- not impossible either. It could be real, just with rubbish architects working on it. Could be a simple mistake. I could do it at home.

It doesn’t really work. If you look very carefully, the red line in the bottom extends the right column to the empty space right beneath the left column and the top line extends the top of the left column to the empty space right above the right column. It is actually the connection that’s an optical illusion and not the initial picture.

It works because the bricks in the wall fool you, if they were aligned it wouldn’t work..

Great!
I think its confusing because the pole is not in line with the peak of the arch.

If you put your finger in front of the column, it looks more normal.

it’s probably because when the eye sees the curve or the arch the first thing we think is the arch is rounded. also because the column is in the middle we assume that it goes between the middle of the arch.
