First sentence: The contrast between the desolate ruined castles on the heights of the sun-baked mountain landscape, and the palaces in the cities, with their cool patios, babbling fountains and scented blossoms testifying to a lifestyle of elegant sophistication - this contrast has stimulated the imagination of the northern European ever since the days of the Romantic movement.
