The central court of the palace at Vouni
Description
In the foreground, thick ruined walls frame a flat paved court. A single standing column and a low rectangular basin with stones sit near the centre, and a worked stone pillar stands at the right. A broad flight of steps runs across the left, with more walls and terraces beyond. Behind, bare hills slope down to a calm sea with a small islet on the right.
