Description

Flat-roofed houses of rendered mud-brick and rubble stone climb a slope at Mandres, with a low domed structure in the middle and a cypress tree behind. Five people are visible: a man with a stick at left, a figure near a doorway below, two people on steps by a white-framed door, and a small figure on a wall top. Shuttered windows and hills rise behind the buildings.
