74 A TOUR THROUGH
square, you see the whole of these noble
streets, and the four great gates of the
city which terminate them ; the symmetry
and beauty of which produce a fine effect-
The whole os these are to be magnificently
illuminated some time next month, and
musi certainly be the sinest sight in the
world. The four gates are each at the
distance of about half a mile (the diameter
of the city being no more than a mile):
these are elegant pieces of architecture
richly adorned; particularly the Porta
Nova and Porta Felice, terminating the
great street called the Corfo, that runs
south west and north east. The lesser
slreets in general run parallel to these great
ones; so that from every part of the city,
in a few minutes walking, you are sure to
arrive at one of the capital streets. The
Porte Felice (by much the handsomest of
the gates) opens to the Marino, a delight-
ful walk, which constitutes one of the
great pleasures of the nobility of Palermo.
