Eyes
The windows of a house are its eyes. And it is said that the first thing that rots in a living being are the eyes. So, for a house, losing its windows would be the first sign of its death.
This house has an unusual, curved windows shape, coming probably from the shapes used traditionally in churches. It is both elegant and austere, simple and graphical. Less is more.
There are many 19th century beautiful and neglected houses in my town. Houses that weep.

You couldn't be more right. Everything visible from our houses comes through the window and the light that allows sight enters through windows.
By the way, are curtains usual in Romania? They are in Spain.
Yes, they are. Usually, there are either curtains or blinds, to provide privacy.
I really liked the wooden window shutters at "Puerta del Alcazar".
You are so poetical, Irina! Indeed, there are lots of old buildings in Romania whose tears are worth being wiped away...
