So true
It is famous for its gardens but I have never been. I have been here though, where there are also surviving gardens and it is nearly twice the age. The Alhambra complex Spain.

Nice, love the architecture. Simple and clean.
Versailles is much more ornate , the workmanship and materials are awe inspiring.
Never been there, but in several magnificent cathedrals in Spain, I felt admiration for the workmanship & wealth of artistry but deep, abiding distress thinking of all the rivers of blood & pain to obtain the gold & whatever.

I am confident that public toilets were installed since the 16th century. It was built without them & the debauchery which unfolded there made, for a most repugnant history, only bested by their lack of character.

I am told that the chamber pots, were only changed/emptied twice per week. Can you imagine how it stank !
