If you know where to look you will keep finding interesting things.

Here is a relic of the Bristish occupation form 1945 . Ther eused to be about a hundred of these, there are two left and they are used by the customs.



Not so long ago civilians still lived in some of those. They destroyed the buildings and now live in luxurious villas at the same spots instead (the land near the sea shore turned them from poor to rich)

actually nothing. I think a gun, an antenna or something similar was riveted on this square. It is actually not an entrance. Note the intact original black paint!
