They’re very well-known in the Provence and Tuscany region. I’ve never seen them in the states too. I’m sure they’re unique to here in Provence and Tuscany.

I do wonder the same thing about restoring castles, but I think it’s because they can’t find all the pieces to restore them back to the original state, and there would perhaps be more damage if they try to put new pieces in. It’s actually quite common to just leave them as the way they are today. In Italy, especially in Rome, there are lots of ancient sites where they look like they’re just destroyed like the castle.

Why don’t they restore those Castles that are in disarray?

Great pictures…
