As a Czech, I feel the difference between Central Europe and the Mediterranean.
In CZ, we have about 1000 years of written history. A building from the 11th century is ancient and rare.
In Italy: well, this city is called Naples (Nea Polis = New City in Greek), because it is barely 2600 years old.

The center of Rotterdam was largely rebuild after WWII. If I look at homes for sale and filter on 20th century and older that is about 5% of all homes.
