There are so many old buildings in Israel that have been torn down or fallen down, whether from natural disasters like earthquakes, decay over time, or destruction from war.
There's a law in Israel that says the old places can't be torn down. So what they do instead is they continue building with new material where the old building still stand.
The lines in the walls of Masada below clearly show where the original walls of Masada end and the recent additions begin. This way, visitors still get a feel for what it could have been like in their original state, without compromising the integrity of the structure and damaging valuable historical landmarks.

Fun fact- the above room had a mural, and you can still see some of the original colors!
