More of nature overtaking our stuff.
Some of our stuff is more enduring; I believe this was built in the 1300's. Those specks on what looks like the ridge of the bridge are people.
The outside of the walkway by the building I stayed in had this sign, indicating that part of the wall was built around 1324-1326.
Oldest part of the old piazza in Assisi, of St. Francis fame. This facade is from Roman times; it was the temple of Minerva (Roman equivalent of Athena). Along with all the tacky little statues of naughty monks and nuns drinking and smoking, and a plethora of St. Francis statues, one finds many statues, also, of owls, the bird associated with Minerva. The ancient stuff is still there, even if most people don't know why.
