Particularly remarkable in this respect is the principal street, the "Broadway," which runs through the whole of the town.

Here we can see houses dating their origin from the most ancient times; houses that have stood proof against sieges and sackings; houses of all colours and forms; some sporting peaked gables, on which stone figures may still be seen; others covered from roof to basement with arabesques; and in one instance I could even detect the remains of frescoes.

In the very midst of these relics of antiquity would appear a house built in the newest style.

I do not remember ever having seen a street which produced so remarkable an impression on me.

The finest building is unquestionably the venerable cathedral.
