Description

A view over Lapithos from higher ground across a street of whitewashed and stone houses. On the left a stone building with a tiled roof has a square bell tower topped by a small cross, and a balustraded balcony projects from a plastered house on the right. Three people are small in the scene: one stands near a gate at the bottom and two sit by steps in the middle distance, with a large white building on the hill behind.
