The planCopyright: © APRELarchitectsThe building was adapted to host a tourist information center, but its larger part was given to the multipurpose hall of the village culture house. Thus, the square has both basic services for tourists (information, toilet, coffee and a terrace overlooking the monastery) and a place for meeting and holding events for the villagers. The project also provides for the appearance of a playground, as well as bread and souvenir shops. A shadowy gallery has been added to bind all the buildings into a combined and harmonious composition.
