A JUNCTION OF STREETS 
the town remains in unaltered medieval 
beauty. Botzen, which we have mentioned 
in a previous paper, has been the commercial 
center of the province. Meran slumbers in 
the memory of its past glory, when it was 
the chief city of the Tyrol and her dukes 
outrivalled their countrymen in wealth and 
splendor. In adding Trent to the above, 
the list of cities in the Tyrol proper is com¬ 
pleted. Sterzing, Hall, Brixen and Bruneck 
are prominent among the small towns, and 
their quaint architecture, lining a single street 
and marked off at each narrow property by 
slender oriel windows, is a vivid picture in 
the memory. Numerous street monuments 
and the names of thoroughfares do homage 
to Austrian monarchs, and equal respect 
and devotion is shown the memory of the 
valiant innkeepers Andreas Hofer and Joseph 
Spechbacher and the Capuchin monk 
Haspinger, the three who led the famous 
insurrection of 1809. Rudolf'sbrunnen ,
