Lugano Old and New

The photo below shows an abandoned elevator car from  about 1890, used to get down to the  lake from the street to the train station.  It was simply left and abandoned.  To the right are new condo apartments.

The new LAC, Lugano Arts Center, was placed next to an old church and cloister.
Below, through the arcade of swanky shops, the inner courtyard of the abandoned cloister are visible.
