As we walked through the gardens, there was a pretty 18th century Baroque building being repaired. The
building has a dark plaster and a light plaster finish and designs are etched into the building by removing
parts of the light plaster so the dark plaster shows through. Quite interesting. Anyway, on this 18th century Baroque
building full of designs about virtues and gods, etc. is this 5 with a hammer and sickle inside. It was the
communist symbol for their magnificent 5 year plan and their way of showing how powerful they were - they could
deface a building with their graffetti! Artfully, of course.
