The theatre at Soli
Description
An elevated view over excavated ruins at Soli, with low stone walls and cut blocks along a cleared, grassy area in the foreground. Beyond a field and a belt of trees, several ships lie on a bay, with hills along the far shore. Scattered houses sit in the middle ground, and a very small figure can be seen in the fields.

- Seen from higher ground, the excavated theatre at Soli shows low walls of cut stone blocks curving across the cleared slope, with a flat cleared area in the foreground. A rack of slats lies on the left, and loose blocks lie scattered on the site. Beyond are orchards, fields and scattered buildings, then a bay with several ships and hills on the far shore.
