That hotel looks amazing. I love staying in hotels with a rich history. It really does make the stay special and it's easy to do in Europe, where they don't tend to tear down and rebuild like we do. When I told a desk clerk we selected their hotel for it's historic significance, she apologized for having to put us in "the new part" of the hotel - an addition that had been added in 1725.

I have not seen the ruins, but they are definitely on my list. I'm fascinated by all things old. I don't think you should go back. Remember that time and place for the special moment it was.
