Temple of Venus, Kouklia

Description
Cut stone blocks, column drums and low wall foundations lie scattered across a grassy, open site in the foreground and middle distance. A tall rectangular stone structure with a small window opening stands at the right. Low walls run across the background, with trees and rounded hills beyond under a cloudy sky. A printed caption at the top reads 'Ruins of the temple of Venus, Kouklia, Cyprus'. Near the bottom centre, a few pale bones lie on the ground.
