Description

Tall fluted columns with carved capitals rise in a line receding to the right, with one large column dominating the left foreground. Behind them, a rough ruined masonry wall and fragmentary walls stand against a cloudy sky. A pine tree branch appears at the upper right, and fallen column fragments and blocks lie on the paved ground in the lower foreground.

English

A row of tall fluted columns with capitals stands in a line across the ancient site, with a ruined stone wall behind them. Broken column drums and blocks lie scattered on the ground in the foreground.
