Thoughts on the renovation of Fasil Ghebbi

Curious to see how others feel about the recent renovation (specifically the painting of the castle). I’ve seen mixed reactions with some people very enthusiastic while others upset with how they painted the castle white.

Although it looks pretty I can’t help but feel that some of its character has been lost. It’s still magnificent but it feels different than before.

Do you think “beautifying” the castle by painting it was unnecessary/ruined the original aesthetic? Would be nice to hear perspectives from those in or near Gondar.
