A medieval city spreads along a network of narrow canals, with tall plaster houses leaning slightly above stone embankments. Arched bridges connect small squares lined with covered market stalls, climbing roses, and shuttered shops. Wooden cargo boats rest beside worn steps descending into the water. Above the crowded rooftops, a fortified palace and several bell towers mark the higher districts. Soft morning mist lingers along the canals as sunlight reaches the upper windows, revealing faded ochre walls, green shutters, and patches of red brick beneath the plaster.
