Description

Irregular rubble masonry forms the wall on the left and right, with a rectangular opening framed by dressed stone blocks. A tall squared block stands within the opening and a horizontal sill of blocks lies below it. Through the opening and beyond the wall, a strip of coast and blue sea extends under a clear sky, with dry grass and bushes in the foreground.
