Description

A carved limestone facade with two dark doorway openings and a horizontal band above them stands in the foreground. To the left, a flight of steps or a sloping passage runs down between cut walls, and the ground around is rough rock with sparse low plants. Beyond the rocks, the sea and a sandy beach stretch to a flat horizon.
