i wait so much for this area and i walk all around for 2,5 hours. Even is hard to walk to this street with stones down and because is not straight the road, i was try to see anything.

This part, as well as other areas of the city was destroyed during World War II, but it was rebuilt and it has maintained its quaint character.
