Answer:
"itself" is an emphasis pronoun in the given sentence.
Explanation:
A reflexive pronoun is used when the action is performed by the subject on the subject. An emphasis (or emphatic) pronoun is used to stress on the subject.
1. Ram is washing himself.
2. Ram himself washed the dishes.
In (1.), the action is performed by Ram on himself, hence reflexive.
In (2.), the emphasis is on Ram. We want to say that Ram, and nobody else, washed the dishes.
In the given sentence, the pronoun "itself" is used to emphasise the town. Please also note that there is no "action" implied in the sentence. It is what is called an existential sentence.
