Description

Several tall columns with fluted shafts and plain capitals stand in a long colonnade across a paved court. Broken blocks and low ruined walls lie in the foreground, with a dark band of trees on the horizon beneath a sky of heavy clouds and bright light. Weathered wall remnants frame the left and right edges of the view.

English

Tall columns of the Salamis site rise in a long row under a cloudy sky. Walls and broken stones lie at the base, and a low line of trees stands in the distance.
