Description

A long, pale stone building with a row of small balconies and a low square tower with a dome-like roof sits on a grassy slope below a steep hill covered in pine trees. Shrubs and trees fill the foreground, and a few low buildings are visible at the left edge. The sky is pale and empty above the hill.
