Description

Low walls, fallen blocks and a column base fill the foreground and middle ground of an open, grassy site. Standing remains of masonry rise at the centre and left, with a single small figure silhouetted on a raised ruin. A tree stands at the right edge, and a band of blue sea and a pale sky fill the background.

English

Stone walls, fallen blocks and a column base lie across the ruins of the Sanctuary of Apollo at Kourion. A single small figure stands on a raised ruin near the centre, with the sea beyond.
