"At this spot is one of the views on which those few travellers who pass from Reggio to Naples by land are accustomed to bestow enthusiastic praise ; nor is it unworthy of its reputation. A flat promenade or platform, half surrounded by seats, and a balustrade, the resort of the evening idlers of Palmi, is terminated at one end by the clustering churches and other buildings of the town ; and at the other, sinks down into the blue sea, a perpen- dicular cactus-clothed precipice." Edward Lear; Journals of a Landscape Painter in Southern Calabria, 1847
