Liked it way better when it was falling to pieces. Much too smooth, the building has lost its character. A common scene in Spain where they have little or no knowledge at all in restoring historic buildings in a way that the spectator doesn't notice the work that has gone into an object. They should learn from the British and German, they have great historic cities that still look very old and are in great shape.
This is a monument to Commodore John Barry, founder of the American navy who was born about eight miles south of here. It was commissioned by the American government. John F Kennedy laid a wreath here a few months before he was assasinated in 1963.
