mountains surround it on all sides, at
two or three leagues distance 1t is
said to have been built by Pompey, after
the defeat OF Sortorius, whence it de.
rived the name Of Pompeipolls
This is a fortified town--Its forti6ca-
tons are not however very considerable,
but itis defended by two castles, one of
which is in the town, the other contigu-
Gus, though without the walls. This
last place, which is the citadel, was
build by Philip lit is strong, from
its situation on the rock it has five
bastions covered with stone. and good
fosses a deep narss of considerable
extent, renders the approaches difficult
towards the side on which it could be at
tackled. This citadel has a handsome
tower, several magazines, square or.
uamented with trees, and an srrnory In
the very centre Of the fort, ess; which
is round, and opens by Eve great and
straight streets, which lead to the Eve
