today only the structures and the plants remain. but at the. last on the lazy river you get an idea of how the people of book use their wealth of water later in the 19th century. to prevent recurring epidemics such as cholera a new water works was built in 878 this allowed the households to be supplied with clean drinking water directly via pipes at the time this state of the art technology cost a sensation through our jurors. remember his it was short but if you look at how ornate it is the floor is so shake it doesn't look and thus trivial. but i mean it was made to please the eyes as you can see from the wrong

and to new and more than one with its active why. letter presents you my favorite part of the city but to me boulevard it dates back to 881 and 8 kilometers long it leaves directly to the black sea coast come on let's see. when i have some free time i love to walk in the warbird or lay on the beach and listen to the sounds of the waves and what's the most fascinating to me sunset in the whole world the best thing about the bridge is that it's not. right here in the boulevard there is a famous meeting point for the elder generation of the city they gather here with

a play chairs backgammon or domino and anyone can join them count let's play with them. martin my. family. they're coming here every day they chat about the current. politics economy and things that might lead to. georgia saying those forests and walls and deers history of wine made and there are about 500 types of waves growing here. just imagine being a few minutes away from but to me and being so close to the nature of mining the vineyards and the forests that sound imaginable.

from this place we have the best view of the city but i have to say good bye now it's been a nice day and i loved being with you hope to meet him but to me now. you can see the wealth of book as well as the water in many places in the city. this is the shed sloppily the front is rather narrow at only 1000 meters but the building is over 100 meters long it is the form a city palace of an oak spoke banker built at the end of the 18th century the last owner gave the palace to the city of book on the condition that it never be sold and only be used for cultural purposes the head of the alcs book state museums cost

of keeping tells me that the building has never been destroyed that's the showpiece of the ones i went up after side yes that wonderful ball room with this fantastic ceiling for us. this is organized so everything is original that 95 percent of the surface dates back to $1770.00 or so this is and this is a magnificent room it has the biggest remaining private ballroom in germany out in the plea of history. but there is no comparable room in terms of size and originality and so into organized to take it in and some of the gold in the golden hall is real gold is that the case here too is the. surfaces here are all original. here you can see the golden surfaces with gold leaf in their original state from 770. the mirrors to our original work with the mercury silvering retained here you know here this. dish it sloppily is

primarily a museum city. it presents masterpieces from past centuries. the collection includes paintings from the late middle ages and the early renaissance. and of course there's also a portrait of one of the most important book residents ever. present if i come to the shots up early and i have not seen this painting did i miss something just a yes indeed and this painting is probably the most important in our collection this is an icon of our sport local history. of the rich the bill gates of the 16th century but there's plenty of sway to be an understatement here and what
