Ah, des vieilles pierres, il ne faut pas me prendre par les sentiments, j'adore cela. Merci de nous faire visiter cette pépite

Well, at least they must have given it plenty of thought before they rebuilt! LOL! Marvelous photo!

Lovely shot of the ruins, they really knew how to build in those days.

looks like people are not allowed to enter the ruins. somewhere in the US, a small girl was killed by a stone or brick fence that fell on her

Actually, it was very difficult to have photos without people walking in frame. And the dangerous sections are off limits.

quiet impressive architecture. Nice photo of it too. Interesting seeing things I'd never be able to go to.
