I have a real problem with this place - how can you have a World Heritage Site that is basically inaccessible to the public? Shouldn't the point be that the general population gets to see and experience the wonders that history has left us?

But then, at the same time, if something is worthy of being listed should it not be included just because it is private. Maybe that's the thought process.

Either way, it's disappointing and annoying to me. You can see the exterior from the street but that's not really a good enough way to appreciate the architecture of the place.

I hope something might change at some point in the future - the local authorities buying it and opening it, for example.
