Photos from Lyon Historical Tour

 The hospital, nuns cloister.
 Rodan's "Adam's Shadow"
 17C Bank building showing natural pink and yellow colured stone from the region. Now a Protestant Church.
 Stone spiral staircase typical of buildings in the Old City.
 The type of tower which housed the staircase.
 Holes in the stairs of a silk weavers building . There was an open space behind so the draught would dry the silk when it was spread across the steps.
 Wide  street where developers demolished old buildings. The red building narrowing the street is where demolition was stopped.
The red building restored to original colours. It is minus it's front courtyard. You can just see a slice of the newer 19C building on the LHS.
