« Veteris Urbis situs, quæ Avaricum olim nominata fuit, ad paludes vergit, cujus etiamnum muri propemodum integri, hinc inde extant ; Extenduntur à turri, quam ab insolitâ crassitudine magnam vocârunt, vulgò la grosse tour, per medium D. Stephani templum & plateam D. Joannis campestris portamque Gordianam usque ad portam novam, olim S. Andreæ dictam ; inde per plateam Amphitheatri, vulgò des arenes, nuncupatam, ad portam Turonensem usque hinc porrecto ambitu versus portam D. Pauli paulatim magnam turrim repetunt. » |
