Renovated in 1719

That's the date carved into the stone above the doorway of this house. You can see the remains of an older arch above it. The house is in a small square beside the newly renovated church. It belongs to someone who uses it as a store, a roofless one, while pigeons inhabit what was the first floor. I think it is very sad that it can't be renovated again, nearly 300 years later. The whole of the facade would have to be pulled down and rebuilt as it is a patchwork of dangerous stonework and repairs. But it would be terrible to lose it altogether while the streets around it are being renovated.
