Description

Ruined stone buildings stand across an open, grassy ground in the foreground. In the centre a tall wall with two large arched openings rises against the sky, with a slender tower to the left and a broken arched facade to the right. A low wall runs across the ground near a small domed structure on the left, and trees stand behind the ruins.
