Since most of the houses are narrow, there isn’t much space for the staircases either, they are also narrow and steep. Which made it difficult to bring merchandise or furniture up to the higher floors.
This is why the buildings have a hoist.
Can you see the rope suspended from one of them?
Facade stones.
Until the time of Napoleon, houses didn’t have numbers, they had names.
The names were in the shape of a facade stone or written on the shutters. It could be a fantasy name, the coat of arms of the person living in the house or their profession.
