As we were told...
When the city was growing so fast that it couldn't be accommodated inside the protective city walls,
the mayor tried to convince his people that it was safe to live outside.
To prove this, he built this house in the river valley below.
When you see the blank stone walls and slits for archers, you have to smile.
