Description

A long single-storey building with a tiled roof, arched stone walls and a tower topped with a small cross stands on the seafront. A flag flies from a pole beside it, and a white bust sits on a stone pedestal marked with a cross behind a white railed wall. Several people stand along the upper veranda, and steps lead down from the terrace towards the sea on the right.
