Description

A dark wooden lintel and large dressed blocks frame the view. Beyond the doorway, one tall column with a plain capital stands in front of two shorter column drums. Low stone walls and a paved area run across the middle ground, with dry grass and rubble in the foreground. The sea lies at the horizon under a clear blue sky.

English

Through a doorway framed by a rough stone wall, three columns of the Sanctuary of Apollo at Kourion stand against a deep blue sky and a strip of sea. Low walls and a paved area lie in the foreground.
