 City, by means of a Stone-Bridge cornpofedof five Arches, 

 well enough built, in the Viceroyfliip of Montefclarof. 

 The Street it runs through leads dire&ly to the Church of 

 S. Lazarus, theParifti-Church of a Suburb call'd Malambo, 



FineWali. an( j terminates near the Alameda y being a Walk of five 

 Rows of Orange Trees, about 200 Fathoms long, the 

 broadeft of the Walks between them being adornd with 

 three Stone Bafons for Fountains. The Beauty of thofe 

 Trees always green, the fweet Odor of the Flowers lafting 

 almoft all the Year, and theConcourfe of the Caleflies daily 

 reforming thither at the time of taking the Air, make that 

 Walk a moft delicious Place about Five in the Evening.

 of S. Liber ata, built in the Year 171 1, in a Place where 

 the Hofts of the Holy Clborium of the Cathedral, which had

 much damaged this City, and daily make the Inhabitants 

 uneafy. There was one in the Year 1678, on the 17th of 

 June, which ruin'd a great Part of it, and particularly th e 

 Churches dedicated to the Bleffed Virgin. Montaho y 

 who has made this Remark, in the Life of S.Toribio, fays, 

 it was as if God the Son had rifen for his Mother : But 

 that in the Year 1682, was fo violent, that it almoft en- 

 tirely demolifli'd the Place, infomuch that k was de-* 

 bated, whether they fliould not remove it to fome better 

 Situation. The Memory of that dreadful Earthquake is
