Description

Three pointed arched doorways with carved mouldings and rose windows sit in a tall stone facade. Wooden doors are set beneath them, and a tree's branches hang across the upper part, hiding the ruined section above. A cobbled square stretches in front, and a single seated figure rests on the steps at the right of the doors.
