Many of the building had pockmarks from bullet's impact. One famous restaurant has a cannon ball lodged above the door. This was a remnant of the 7 years war. BK was a Romanized hot bath center, so it has seen warfare for nearly 3,000 years... I often wondered about all the strife that must have happened there.
