Famagusta, Salamis, with St Nicholas Cathedral in the background
Description
Through a stone archway, a tall church facade with pointed windows and a large rose window rises behind dense tree foliage, its upper walls broken open to the sky. In the street, a seated figure sits at left, a standing person waits by a doorway of a low whitewashed building, and another person is partly visible at lower right beside a stone pillar.
