How old is the oldest building in the town you live in?

To those from the Western hemisphere, it's always fascinating to hear that some homes and businesses from the times of the Greek philosophers still have inhabitants, and then you remember that the Western hemisphere is itself not without its own examples, for example some Mexican villages still have temples from the times of the Mayans.

Surprise surprise, it's a church.

I think it is an old church from around 1100. The oldest residential house is much younger, about 1550.

Weve got Roman era ruins I think, but I cant find any info on the oldest standing building. Probably from the 13th-14th century.

There's some debate on the age of the old parish church where I live. It was either built on the 7th century or 1078
