Description

A facade cut into a rocky hillside, with a triangular pediment over a band of carved moulding and a row of columns standing in front of open dark recesses. On the left a column with a thick block capital stands before an opening, and further columns run along the right side. Grass and scrub cover the rock above, and a dirt track and loose stones lie in the foreground.
