A lot of what you are looking at in these pix lay in ruins after WWII.



If you look close you can tell much of this is "new", with selective period reconstruction copying the old buildings or in some cases details from the orginal buildings.



The new buildings mimic the form of the what was destroyed...so you get the atmosphere and feel of a medieval city even if much of the built "fabric" is not an archeological or carbon-copy reconstruction.



Certain buildings & structures of artistic or architectural signifigance where totally restored and reconstructed, of course.
