Expansive city, vibrant and full of life, despite his past history, has preserved traditions and culture that characterize the populations of the West. It is basically divided into two parts linked together by a long avenue: in the first part, which was completely destroyed by war, there are a number of recent high-rise buildings full of shops and offices with the birth of a new economic and commercial center, while the second corresponds to the Old Town.
