Potemkin House in Budapest



The picture above shows a beautiful and well maintained villa in the Zuglo district of Budapest.



Everything is not, however, as it seems. If you look very carefully at this photo you will see why. The villa was replastered and repainted, but only on the wall facing the street. For some reason the sides (and presumably the back) were not touched and are still pretty much unrenovated, they even seem to have the obligatory bullet holes from 1956 or 1945.
