All shapes and sizes
A varids collection of buildings, lying more or less on the line of the Gijón's old Roman wall. The old building centre right is a small hotel and bar. The bar on the ground floor has a corner of the floor cut away exposing part of the wall. The modern building behind, constructed a few years ago, contains flats. It doesn't have a ground floor at all because during construction more of the wall was uncovered, so the building is raised on pillars to display the remains beneath. The 'clock tower' in the background is largely re-built on the site of an older tower that sat on the wall next to its main entrance. It was once the town's lock-up, but now serves as a small archaeological museum and municipal archives. It provides some good views of the surroundings, although the view down isn't so much to my liking. It has areas of glass floor and I don't have a head for heights.
