This walk takes you along the “horseshoe”, a rare example of town planning. The facades are crowned with gables, pinnacles and turrets, and adorned with balconies, terraces, loggias and recesses. This area is further embellished by atlantes, caryatids, cherubs, Venuses emerging from the waves, and mythological figures. The overall effect is of a hymn to modernity, from a period (1880-1900) imbued with Classical culture.
