Description

A ruined stone structure with several tall arches set on piers, the arcade partly open to the sky. The wall tops are broken and uneven, and rubble lies at the base among tall dry grass. Palm trees stand at the right, and through the arches a distant tower or gable is faintly visible under a cloudy sky.

English

A row of tall arches and piers stands in long grass, the top of the wall broken away at the right. Palm trees rise beside the ruins at the right edge, with a distant church tower seen through the arches.
