on the 1. bank of the Adige. Its numerous towers and spires, sur mounted by the stately Dom, its mar ble palaces and its ruined castles, all included within a circle of embattled walls, have from a distance a very im posing aspect. It has all the character of an Italian city, nearly unaltered. It was the Trkkntnm of the Romans, a place of great antiquity, and rose to high importance and prosperity under the rule of its prince-bishops, from the time that the Emp. Conrad the Salic bestowed upon them

and their suc cessors the temporal rule over the valley of the Adige and the surround ing district. It still continues the see of the Prince- Bishop, the chief place of a circle (Kreisstadt), and contains 13,000 In- hab. It is nearly 5 m. in circumfer- 1 ence. I The finest building, and the chief of its 15 churches, is the Dom, or Cathe dral (dedicated to St. Vigilius), entirely of marble, begun 1048, in the Roman esque style, and is remarkably curious in some portions, especially the porches. The

high altar stands isolated beneath the cupola, below an entablature of marble, which is supported by spirally twisted columns. The objects worth notice are, an Adam and Eve of white marble, and a crucifix in one of the side chapels, also the tomb of the Vene tian General Sanseverino, who was- slain by the Trentines at Galliano. In the side chapels are numerous round brass monumental effigies. The great Square, in which the Dom stands, is ornamented with a marble fountain. The Ch . of Santa Maria
