It was small and very crowded with antennae, but with binoculars you had a great view.

Across the piazza was another rooftop apartment with a lot of plants, but not such a great view.

The "rich men's alley" where the stalls had better quality goods at much higher prices than at the other end of the market, 150 feet away.
