Date | 1904 |
Description | San Remo, Liguria, Italy |
Details |
The old town "is a mass of streets placed close above each other, and linked together with arms and arches of solid masonary, as a protection from the earthquakes which are frequent at San Remo. The walls are tall and form a labyrinth of gloomy passages and treacherous blind alleys, where Moors of old might meet with a ferocious welcome." - J. A. Symonds.
