Description

A large stone church facade with a rose window, pointed arched openings and a slender tower with a pointed cap rises behind a tree and a low stone building with a tiled roof. In the dusty open square in front, an open vehicle with a canopy carries three people, and a small structure with a curved roof stands at left. A pole and a stone pillar frame the right edge of the picture.
