The principal street, "Sander," is broad and cleanly paved in the middle with square stones, and at the sides with bricks.

At both extremities of this street stand majestic gateways.

The houses of the town (from one to four stories high) are almost entirely of red sandstone; most of them are small, but many are surrounded by columns, pillars, and galleries.

Several are distinguished by their handsome porches.

The streets are narrow, crooked, and ugly; the bazaars unimportant.
