Famagusta old town with St Peter and St Paul, St Nicholas and St George of the Greeks
Description
In the foreground, large cut-stone blocks and a dusty open ground with scattered stones lie before a low wall. Beyond, flat roofs, palm trees and small houses fill the middle ground. A ruined church with a slender minaret stands in the centre, a ruined façade with pointed arches is on the left, and another ruin is on the right, with a hazy sea and sky behind.
English
