Description

A large stone church with a tall pointed tower and tracery windows stands behind a long arched wall on the left. On the right, a two-storey stone house has an external staircase and a balcony, and a man in a dark uniform and cap stands in the open street in front. Cypress trees grow at the left edge, and a cart with animals passes under an arch in the middle distance.
