The centre of the island is the town of Rab, built on a small peninsula forming a natural port in the middle of the south-western coast.
Although the urban organisation of the town is based on the Roman model, Rab received most of its construction heritage during the Romanesque period, so that this style dominates in its historical image.
In this stone town, the medieval walls which were built on the Roman ones, there are many Gothic and Renaissance palaces bearing the coats of arms of patrician families who built them over the course of the centuries.

I headed over to his website and ordered the boxed set of Happy Town 1-10 and the more recent issue 11.
Happy Town is an interesting series (and rather unique in its bricolaged sci-fi/fantasy way), and the longer I read it the more I enjoyed it.
From the things I’ve read it seems Madson does not have a real clear plan for the series, which may be the cause of some of its weaknesses, particularly early on.

 HAPPY, TEXAS movie review (with photos and clips where possible)
The fire is a quaint, dusty Texas town named Happy, where Harry and Wayne show up under assumed names -- and are mistaken for two beauty pageant producers who've been hired by the town.
But laughs are also generated by Douglas, as the sexually repressed school teacher, and by the always wonderful William H. Macy (of Fargo fame) as the town sheriff, who's got a few sexual issues of his own to resolve.
By the time this zany film is over, the town in Texas isn't all that's happy.

 Reviews of Jill Sobule | Happy Town, That Dog | Retreat from the Sun, and Peter Holsapple | Out of My Way
Jill Sobule, Happy Town (Atlantic 1997) - With Happy Town (her second major label release), Jill Sobule comes into her own as an alternative popwonder.
But that 1995 effort was too quirky for me. On Happy Town, Sobule eschews her eccentricities and focuses on searching girl pop, with glorious results.
Happy Town is another of those self-recorded labors of love; Sobule laid down almost all of the instrumentals, with guest appearances on guitar by Steve Earle and producer Richard Barone (ex-Bongos).

The shot changes to the next car and in the background you can see a man open the door of a domestic pick-up truck where the Volvo was in the last shot.
Happy, Texas is one of these films that you know from the beginning will end well, where everything work out, eventually, and nobody gets killed.
But it sure ain't all sweet, as foul language and sex is comic parts of the story, as are two supposedly gay men (they have stolen a camper belonging to two gay mane, so they, two escaped convicts, have to impersonate these guys for a while), a gay sheriff and so on.

The introduction to the first song on Tim Krekel’s Happy Town really grabs you -- it has a kick to it, and melody and texture, too.
He has led a few bands of his own in his home town of Louisville, Kentucky -- some of them fairly successful.
If he intends to be a force unto himself, that is. This CD’s title is a bit too much like Springsteen's Lucky Town and the cover photo shows only about a quarter of Krekel’s face.
