great place but everywhere there are signs saying private property and this is our national heritage, and foreign capital doesn't renovate it anyway, it just buys up monuments...

It's a shame that places like this fall into disrepair. Today I had the opportunity to meet and have a long conversation with the kind gentleman who takes care of the building. If you're there and see the man with the long beard, stop and talk to him; you'll learn many interesting things about this place.
