Description

Low stone walls and tiers of worn seating form the ruined amphitheatre in the foreground, with a level arena area below. A steep earth bank rises on the right, with fragments of masonry along its top. Beyond, orchards, fields, a scattered white building and a line of tall trees fill the valley under a hazy hill line.

English
