Description

A small stone building with a dome on a cylindrical drum rises above lower walls, its rough, weathered masonry showing gaps and worn edges. Arched windows with iron grilles pierce the walls, and a dark arched doorway sits at the left end. The sea shows beyond the building, and the foreground is rocky ground with scrub.
