Summary: "Caen démoli: Recueil de notices sur des monuments détruits ou défigurés" by Gaston Lavlley is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work focuses on the architectural history of Caen, documenting monuments that have been destroyed or disfigured over time, including detailed notices about the second Town Hall and the old port of Caen. This book serves as a lament for lost cultural heritage while preserving memories of the city's past. At the start of the work, Lavalley introduces the reader to various historical monuments of Caen that have succumbed to destruction or alteration. The opening segments specifically discuss the second Town Hall, constructed in the 14th century and demolished in the mid-18th century. The narrative dives into the historical significance of these structures, detailing the societal changes and conflicts that led to their demise. Furthermore, it illustrates the former grandeur of the old port of Caen and how improvements and issues over time have affected its use and importance in maritime trade. The writing combines historical facts with anecdotes, highlighting the struggle between preservation and progress. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
