The palace of the prince, which is smaller, is on one side, and has also a golden eagle over it.  The dwellings of other members of the royal family and chief nobility are on either side, while the rest of the houses, which are only of one story, clothe the sides of the hill, standing generally on small terraces, wherever the ground has allowed their formation.  The houses are of plain unpainted wood, which gives them a somewhat sombre and dilapidated appearance.  The interiors are, however, very comfortable, and admirably suited to the climate.
