Click to enlarge, and notice the small windows, eye-like, in the middle of the roof of the building at the center of the postcard. :)

    What a beautiful place. Maybe I never heard about it because people were trying to keep it a secret! I wouldn't blame them.

    I love the way the street curves around. It is beautiful as is the roof line in the stamp.
