The street here is completely dominated by a luxurious palace to the

southwest. Complete with gilded spires, soaring arches and exquisitely

carved balustrades, it is most certainly fit for a king. Surrounding

the palace is a tall spike-topped iron fence, cunningly wrought so

that anyone attempting to scale it would be severely cut, and ropes

used would be severed. An elaborate gate in the fence sports a curious

jeweled plaque, which still glitters after all these years.
