Roamin’ palace

In certain parts of the world, history sometimes pops up out of nowhere, to the point of where you can literally trip over it.  Europe is certainly one of those places:  tread carefully, as you might be standing on a 6th century prince. In 1960 a man was laying a water pipe underneath the quaint…
