View of ruins always causes mixed feelings - sadness about the lost flowering, radiance in all its splendor, and admiration for the skill of ancestors who managed to erect something so grandiose, majestic and beautiful that even in ruins it continues to be so. And there is also the feeling of some kind of tenderness, cares, with which you want to touch the surviving remains to save them from further destruction and give them an opportunity to tell us about the distant past.
