At times the view of the city roofs very much resembled those around the Castle hill in my home town and yet other times there was no possible comparison ... a basketball field squeezed among various houses, a few scattered vineyards, the cloisters of the Franciscan Monastery, the forts, ...  these were certainly part of the  uniqueness of this beautiful city, which couldn't be ignored ...

The circuit would soon end but despite having  effectively "occupied" part of my morning it was really worth it.
