Another great set. Are people allowed in the tower in number 7 and what is behind the blue in number eight?

Another excellent set Mark. It is such a special city and your photos bring back fond memories of our May 2023 visit there.

Thanks very much Barbara. You can climb the tower for a fee. They are constantly doing restorations of the building facades and that's what was going on in #8.
