The churches are not remarkable for the beauty of their facades, nor do they present any thing in the way of marble statues or finely executed pictures.
The houses are generally well built, with flat roofs; the streets, with few exceptions, are narrow, small, and very dirty.

An uncommonly broad street runs parallel with the harbour, and contains, on one side at least, some very handsome houses.

This is a favourite place for a walk, for we can here see all the bustle and activity of the port.

Several of the palaces also are pretty; that appropriated to the senate is the only one which can be called fine, the staircase being constructed entirely of white marble, in a splendid style of architecture: the halls and apartments are lofty, and generally arched.

The regal palace is also a handsome pile.
In the midst of the town I found an agreeable public garden.
