Description

Several tall columns of light stone stand in a line along a raised stone base, with a few shorter columns and a gap in a wall behind them. Low walls of rubble masonry run along the left and back, and a stone block lies on the ground in the foreground. Dry grass covers the ground, and a tree sits at the far right beyond the ruins.

English

Rows of tall column drums stand on a stone base above grass at the Sanctuary of Apollo Hylates at Kourion. Low ruined walls and further columns extend to the right, with a broken wall and a bush behind.
