Description

Rock-cut tomb facades stand in a dry, stony landscape. In the foreground, a long row of carved pillars and rock-cut openings forms the front of a line of chambers, with dark doorways between them. Rough stone blocks and low scrub lie around the ruins, and in the background a town sits on distant low hills under an overcast sky.

English

The Tombs of the Kings at Paphos, with a row of carved pillars and dark chamber openings cut into the rock in the foreground under an overcast sky.
