| Summary | "Old Continental Towns" by Walter M. Gallichan is a historical travel narrative written in the late 19th century. The work explores various ancient and picturesque towns across Europe, delving into their rich histories, significant landmarks, and cultural heritage. Gallichan presents a reflective account of cities such as Rome, Assisi, and Venice, capturing both their grandeur and the deeper stories that link them to human experiences. At the start of the narrative, the author introduces Rome, portraying it as a city steeped in history with the solemn relics of its past civilizations. The opening describes the awe that strikes visitors as they encounter the city's ancient monuments, such as the Coliseum and St. Peter's Basilica, setting the tone for a journey through time. Gallichan reflects on the city's mythic beginnings, the reign of emperors, and the eventual decline of its power. The text subsequently hints at the architectural and artistic marvels that define Rome, laying a foundation for the vivid explorations of other towns that will follow throughout the book.
