He means the castrum thingy.


Also, it wasn&#039;t so much a restoration as a godawful &quot;embellishment&quot;. 

The whole thing has been sandblasted to sterility, scraped bare, tiled, plastered, covered over with concrete slabs in parts, fitted with those ubiquitous visible-from-space &quot;lighting systems&quot;, and it&#039;s had every little outhouse and ablutions block up to 1979 rebuilt. 

Which means there&#039;s nothing Renaissance about it any more. It&#039;s pure 1970s bini tal-gvern. 


Oh well. Far better than the burnt mattresses, needles and used condoms of the last thirty years. But we really need to learn the art of the gentle touch.]]></description>
