Description

Tall dressed-stone walls with small openings rise at the left, and a flight of stone steps leads up to a terrace where a wooden table and chairs stand. In the centre a rounded arch of masonry opens beneath a wall. Low walls and a few shrubs fill the lower right, and beyond the site flat cultivated land with scattered trees extends to a hazy horizon.

English
