Description

A rounded stone tower with a crenellated top stands beside a long, thick wall of large masonry blocks that rises at the left. The foreground is rough, dry ground with grass and low shrubs, and leafy branches frame the picture at both sides. Behind the tower, a low rocky ridge runs off to the right under a pale sky.
