What's under the beauty of the colonial style...

Cuenca is a lovely colonial style town. It has been declared an Unesco site and certain areas can no longer be modernized. Unfortunately, this means some beautiful old buildings are abandoned and crumbling because no one has the means to repair them. While walking, I found an area that was quite decrepit, but with some nice 'bones' just waiting for someone to give them a little make-up to restore their beauty
