• The fact that places were kept in its original form
• All the frescoes being removed and not replaced by replicas

“On an average warm day, wear a hat - it gets hot quite quickly and there are no buildings to hide inside or trees to sit under! Have a minimum of 4 hours available, use the audio-guide - it gives good background information and guides you to the various places. Beware that sometimes the numbers in the booklet they hand out and the audio-guide does not correspond! If you have te time spend 3-4 hours before lunch there, enjoy a nice lunch in the restaurant (charge your batteries) and spend another 2 - 3 hours to see it all (and wear very comfortable shoes) - it is a lot of walking on very uneven ground.”
