Description

A view over a harbour from a high stone wall, with a large round tower of rough-cut stone in the foreground. Beyond it, a two-masted sailing boat lies near a long breakwater ending in a small lighthouse, and pale buildings stand along the shore. Open sea fills the right side, with faint hills in the far background.

Description, scan 2
A view over Kyrenia harbour from above the old fort walls, with a large round stone tower in the foreground and small arched openings near its base. A curved stone breakwater with a small lighthouse at its end runs out into the water, where a sailing boat with tall masts sits, and pale houses and a slender tower stand on the shore beyond. The sea fills the right side, and low hills are faint on the horizon.
