Description

Excavated ruins on the Acropolis at Idalion. Rough stone walls of rectangular blocks stand several courses high, with a thick wall face on the right and a lower wall running across the middle. Loose stones and rubble lie at the base, and the ground in front is bare soil with two round yellow marks on the wall at mid-height.
