Excerpt from Narrative of Travels in Europe, Asia, and Africa, in the Seventeenth Century, Vol. 2 It was built by a Greek Princess called Modina. Here I was first enabled to perform my Friday's prayer, which I did with great devotion, and then went forth to view the town. It is the port of Brussa, and forms a safe harbour, being closed against the wind from seven points and open only to the North. The anchorage is excellent. At the head of the harbour stands the custom-house, the lease of which amounts to a million aspers. The town is built by the sea-shore.
