To those from the Western hemisphere, it’s always fascinating to hear that some homes and businesses from the times of the Greek philosophers still have inhabitants, and then you remember that the Western hemisphere is itself not without its own examples, for example some Mexican villages still have temples from the times of the Mayans.

I grew up in the Western US, so I’m a big… fan of this underwhelming 1820s business.

The student dorm I lived in was built as a monastery in 1491.
My current home town still has a guard tower built by the Romans.

There’s some debate on the age of the old parish church where I live. It was either built on the 7th century or 1078

Weve got Roman era ruins I think, but I cant find any info on the oldest standing building. Probably from the 13th-14th century.
