It is not only one of the show places, which every traveller from afar is supposed to visit as something of a duty, but it is a place that conveys [Pg6] impressions of beauty and restfulness in a way that few others can. It remains ancient without having lapsed into a state of desuetude that leaves everything to the imagination; it is a living whole far from any of the garishness that belongs to contemporaneity.

Within, too, are priceless treasures, themselves alone the objective of countless pilgrimages.
