It looks like part of the building has occupants c/w TV dishes !! The restored version does seem to lack homely feeling of the old one. The palms make a nice relief ! V

It's the kind of restoration which do not respect the materials and the "spirit" of the ancient building. Surely not agreed by UNESCO. Thank you for showing. V.

I rather like the unrestored!

Celle-ci mériterait un gros cout de rénovation... V
