and a concourse of peasants, daily flocking in, by their bright-looking
costumes, and picturesque, handsome appearance, enlivened the town to a
very unusual extent.

Indeed, the weather was so lovely, the air so balmy, the atmosphere
so gauze-like and softening to the objects it surrounded, that an
irresistible charm seemed resting upon the land; and it became easy
to comprehend how a colony of Dorians, establishing themselves upon
its shores, crowned its lofty promontory with a temple where Venus was
invoked.

A cathedral, dedicated to San Ciriaco, one of the oldest in Europe,
now occupies the site of the heathen shrine, nobly situated on the very
summit of the hill, overlooking the town, which rises for some distance
along its sides, but terminating about half-way, leaves the _duomo_
undisturbed in its hoary majesty and impressive solitude. We used to
delight in walking up here, and, sitting on the steps of the portico,
of which the columns were supported on two colossal lions of red
granite, gaze forth on the grand prospect which this position displays.
At our feet, sloping downwards in a semicircle, lay the town, the mole
with Trajan's celebrated arch, the harbour and shipping, commanded
by the citadel, and background of mountains stretching far along the
curve of the coast, with higher ranges more dimly seen, forming part
of the great chain of the Apennines by which Italy is intersected.
Turning away from this, you seem transported to a different region, for
on three sides of this bold headland, a broad expanse of waters alone
meets the view. The walls of the cathedral are not six paces removed
from where the cliff abruptly ends, presenting a rugged face of rock,
which towers some two or three hundred feet perpendicularly above
the sea. The wild music of the waves, on a stormy day, as they surge
against its base, is borne upward by the wind, and, distinguishable
amid the strains of the organ and the voices of the choir, produces
an effect not easily forgotten. Unfortunately, the existence of this
venerable pile is threatened by the
